Got any statistics to back that up? I mean, it’s anecdotal, but how many school shootings have there been in the USA vs any non gun owning nation? Last one in the UK was Dunblane - and then they banned guns.
- gozur88 9y agoThe school shootings are irrelevant statistically. They make the news because they're upsetting, but you're more likely to be beaten to death by someone's fists than shot with a long gun in the US. The vast majority of gun crime is done with handguns, and much of it is already illegal - i.e. felons in possession of guns or people carrying when or where they're not legally allowed to do so.
- madaxe_again 9y agoSo where do those illegal guns come from? Santa? No. The legal gun market.
- gozur88 9y agoWell, sure. And if there were no legal gun market, they'd come from the illegal market like they do in places like Brazil and France. What's your point?
