True. No guns = no gun violence. Simple.
My issue is that banning guns for civilians creates a false sense of security. Criminals who are going to commit a mass shooting anyway will carry a gun whether it’s illegal or not. But because everyone else is unarmed and believes that applies to everyone, people can no longer defend themselves. Only an idiot would shoot at a crowd of people who are all armed. It’s kind of like a weapon that never needs to be fired situation.
Yes, i’m aware that there are other countries where civilians don’t have guns, and there is no gun crime. But those countries don’t have the same history with guns that the U.S. does, so it’s a false equivalency
