Restrictions on firearms availability does reduce the amount of gun-related injuries or deaths though https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6283012/#s4title https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6283012/#s4titl... > A variety of longitudinal studies describe the association between the simultaneous implementation of laws targeting multiple elements of regulations and firearm deaths. Despite their limitations, specifically on the identification of which laws are more likely to be effective, these studies inform on the potential synergistic effects, or the aggregated individual effects of multiple laws, when they are simultaneously implemented within a narrow time window. The Australian NFA provides a good illustration of this. Following the implementation of the NFA, a decline in firearm deaths and firearm suicides, as well as an absence of mass shootings, occurred.

How do you explain all the guns and absence of gun violence in Vermont and Maine? Why is there so much gun violence in Illinois despite the strict gun control? Do you support gun control in Ukraine?

The issue I have with such studies is they focus on "gun-related injuries or deaths". Has any study ever shown an overall decrease in deaths or injuries from any type of gun control legislation?

> does reduce the amount of gun-related injuries or deaths though > a decline in firearm deaths and firearm suicides That's... to be expected. I don't think someone needs a college degree to figure that out. The majority of gun injuries and death are self-inflicted [0]. Removing access to firearms just means that people will turn to other means. It's also why suicide rates in the US and Canada are comparable despite the huge disrepectancy in gun availability. South Korea has a much bigger suicide rate than the US and Canada despite having strict gun control. In Canada the Government will grant you the right to commit suicide (yes, you read that right) through the taxpayer funded healthcare system [1].
