Gun control does the opposite
It restricts “good guys” as they’re the only people that follow the laws
Criminals don’t follow these laws
Since it’s impossible to stop bad guys with guns its better to let the good guys have it too
@Leo (BillNyeLand) check out gun violence on a county map.
Even taking the natural stress of population density into account, the high rates in red states are mostly contained to the big blue counties.
You can’t stop a criminal from buying a gun but you can stop a law-abiding gun store owner from selling a gun.
Sucks for whoever you is
Grab the guns and the next spike in gun violence will be against the door-knocking pigs
insallah
Visitor stopping a law abiding gun owner from selling one does nothing either
It’s very easy to get a gun illegally
Hence why most guns used in crime are illegal sources
Think about price controls bro, when they’re placed there is always an excess demand which means black markets
I found this but it’s from mother jones which makes me somewhat skeptical
yeah mass shootings
Sure, there’s a black market for guns, but it isn’t the same size as the gun market would be without restrictions. By restricting supply, you get some black market demand, but you also see the demand curve shift until the overall demand is lower, which means that the number of “bad guys” with guns would be lower than originally.
Ah. Here’s something from the Washington Post
Sorry it’s pixelated
In Pittsburgh 2008, most crimes were committed with someone else’s gun
I'll find it
But that doesn’t say how much of that was actual black market stuff, unfortunately
Theres another one I have
But I'll find it after
@Leo (BillNyeLand) It's true a black market will always come no matter how hard you try to ban something, especailly a big one for something like guns which is so easily available. The USSR etc tried to stop market forces and they resulted in a "second" economy bigger than the original I believe, because consumer demanding consumer goods they couldn't get due to inefficiency.
Just look at drugs today.
No, but the high-level Freemasons certainly are baby-eating demons
Gun control definitely lowers suicide
Lowering suicide is still better than nothing
How
that makes no sense....
dying has to be one of the easiest things to do
Would you rather die instantly or slowly?
instantly
Yes
AKA jumping off the empire state building
or hanging myself
Most people don't have the Empire state building near them
yes
