To outlaw guns

Guns would mean a lot less disasters

You could outlaw them but it wouldn’t be effective

And why is that?

No school shootings

Nope.

Yes but no

Gun control takes guns away from people who get them legally.

Outlawing guns just means that criminals have the guns

Depends on how well you ban them

Thank you @SiliconBassist

Exactly.

People can still have them smuggled in.

That means only criminals have guns.

Yes

In the uk there are but they’re very hard to come by

Because criminals do NOT give a single shit if they get it legally.

It would work about as well as alcohol prohibition

Yes

Oh no

And the penalty is very hefty

What to debate about

And citizens wouldn't be able to stop the shooter.

Nor police

Because all they have are batons

and butter knives.

Yet in the US

And holy-

Police are allowed to have guns lol

A gun carrier can just gun down the shooter.

I’m a Mainstream

In the U.K. they have batons.

Gun control is so counterproductive.

Then why doesn’t that happen for every mass shooting

Why doesn’t someone just gun them down

Since there are so many in America

It has happened before.

Shooter gets stopped by citizen.

I think a distinction should be made between the different degrees of gun control

Yes but the majority of the time that doesn’t happen

Yet, take away the guns and now you have criminals with FREE-RANGE.
