FBI Uniform Crime Report
You can ask her, "If gun control works, why has crime (per 100,000 inhabitants) increased by 313% from 1960-2006?"
Your average anti doesn't know this, because documented facts aren't real important to them. If you ever go to an anti-gun blog, you'll see that they deal in emotion, misrepresentation, general confusion and lack of knowledge regarding firearms, and lies.

Antis don't like it when we present them with documentation to back up our claims. Don't be surprised if she has a tantrum before it's all over, because they're big on tantrums, too.
As I'm sure has been mentioned, DC and Chicago have had gun bans for 32 and 23 years respectively. DC still boasts one of the country's highest homicide rates. There was a piece on CNN a few weeks ago, about how the DC Police are beside themselves, trying to deal with all of the illegally owned guns on the street. Criminals don't honor gun bans, it would seem.
In Chicago, street crime is rampant. I lived there myself for a year and a half, in the Gold Coast, which is a nice area. However, every Friday night, I could hear gunfire coming from Cabrini Green (notorious public housing project), only 4 blocks away. Cabrini Green is run by a drug gang called the 'Gangster Deciples'. The History Channel devoted an entire episode of "Gangland" to the Deciples, and Cabrini Green. They reported that hundreds of shootings have taken place there over the last couple of decades. I guess nobody explained the concept of a gun ban to the gangstas.
You may also want to mention that some of their anti-gun heroes are gun owning/carrying/hiring hypocrites. There's Rosie O' Donnell, who has a California CCW Permit, and who has hired armed body guards to protect her, and to accompany her children to school. When called on this, on her own blog, Rosie claimed that her case was "special", because she "spoke out against the NRA". I saw it with my own eyes. Like the NRA would hire hit-men to go after opponents. Then there is Sen. Barbara Boxer, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who both have California CCW Pemits, which are nearly impossible to get. Sen. Charles Schumer (NY) also carries. Anti-gun Jesse Jackson's entourage has enough weapons to retake Mexico, and I wouldn't be surprised if Jesse himself carried a gun.
And the president of the Violence Policy Center, Josh Sugarman, is the holder of a Federal Fireams License. The VPC is a vehement anti-gun organization, dedicated to disarming the population of this country. Josh also has a cache of "assault rifles", stashed at a suburban home (someone else's) in Arlington VA. What makes this special is that the ATF requires FFL applicants to be actively engaged in the business of firearms (selling, buying, repairing, customizing, etc.), so Josh lied to them. There were a couple of threads here on THR 2 or three weeks ago, so do a search. You can make a copy of Josh's FFL for show and tell.
These people are elitist hypocrites, which is quite common on the anti-gun side. They are anti-gun for everyone but themselves.
