Here is a recent scientific study published in November 2013.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of state-level assault weapons bans and concealed weapons laws on state-level murder rates. The results indicated that states with more restrictive CCW laws had gun-related murder rates that were 10% higher. Murder rates were 19.3% higher when the Federal assault weapons ban was in effect.
