Every month goes by and the hood in Chicago kills more people than died in Las Vegas, and no one says anything about gun control. Probably because most of the people in the hood already have illegal guns.
Anyways it is very rare to die by illegitimate gunfire (not from the state). You are more likely to die in falls, slips, choking, drowning, cars, motorcycles... The list is never ending.
In the West we are conditioned to be terrified of guns and terrorists, but it is incredibly rare to die of either, especially if you stay out the hood.
Why not campaign against something that kills more people but which doesn't serve an arguably necessary purpose? Why try to jump for one of the highest and most questionable fruits on the tree?
Tyrants always will seek to consolidate power. If your intention is altruism, try to save lives by an easier means.
