How can you possibly judge that? For all you know, having 300 million guns in America is keeping the earth's magnetosphere intact through some weird quantum effect. It's highly unlikely, but you have no idea what the actual benefit of the 2nd amendment is because there is no possible way to empirically determine what the past would have been like without it.
- mozumder 11y agoYou can compare to other countries without that right, or to just within regions in the same country that have no guns vs regions that do. That's how you would determine the benefits of the 2nd amendment with data. This is not a difficult problem.
