  Yeah, it’s unfortunate nobody has found a way to prevent you from talking yet

  I’m fine with it happening. The risk of me being murdered is only slightly higher than in Europe. As such, I don’t see a problem I want to fix.

    Unlike you I don’t want people to get shot.

    Not only that, but all evidence clearly demonstrates that reducing guns does not reduce homicide rates, whatsoever. So guns aren’t even increasing your risk

      Not even close to accurate.

      And it’s pretty obvious. A tool meant to kill being around makes it easier to kill. If it’s easier to kill, more death will happen.

      Next they should research if water is wet, I’m sure they’ll come to a similarly shocking conclusion.

      Well even if we banned guns. Criminals wouldn’t give them up. We’d just disarm lawful owners.

        It’s crazy how the criminals in Europe tend not to use guns anywhere near as much as the U.S.

        This isn’t a good argument. Criminals get guns through lawful processes. They buy guns directly from gun shops, or they buy them at gun shows, or they buy them from private sellers, all of which are legal methods of buying guns. There is of course a black market for guns, but if you’re too stupid to acquire a gun legally, you’re probably going to fall for the obvious FBI sting operation that calls itself Black Market Firearms dot com. I’m not linking it here, in the off chance that it really is an online retailler of explicitly illegal firearms and ammunition.

        The point is, most gun control legislation is aimed at the methods criminals use to obtain guns. Restrictions on straw purchases, requirements for background checks at gun shows and for private sales, requirements to report lost or stolen guns, these are all reasonable restrictions that don’t take guns away from lawful owners.

  There’s no way to prevent this without turning into Canada or the UK or Australia.

    Not to mention that those countries didn’t even solve anything by getting rid of guns since their homicide rates had no notable change.

    What a horror, having fewer people die.
