I was thinking more long term. Thinking about the social dynamics that would ensue by having a USA without guns. For example, one argument that is often given in favor of gun ownership is self-defence. By denying guns for the “good guys” only the “bad guys” would have them, because they’d acquire them illegally.
- xxpor 5y agoI think the reason why it's so easy to get an illegal gun is because the legal gun market is so large, which supports manufacturers existing in the first place. If tomorrow guns were banned, and we melted down every existing handgun in the US, there wouldn't be anyone left making guns and selling them to civilians on an industrial scale.
