Gee. Them gun laws really made a difference 👌

@SW-User My question is, assuming you don't have to lock your gun in your safe so your kids don't blow their or eachother's heads off, would you have your gun on your person at all times? Would an intruder in a gun permitting country yell at the door "hey i'm coming to kill you and have a gun!!"? People keep forgetting that GUNS ARE NOT SWORDS you can't parry an attack with them you have 3 scenarios: 1. Bad guy shoots first 2. you shoot first 3. both shoot either at the same time or imediately after while dying or wounded. In 2 out of 3 scenarios you get shot anyway even if we assume you just happened to walk around with your gun strap like a Hollywood cowboy. In fact being armed almost guarantees that scenario 4 where you just get robbed but get to keep your life doesn't happen. And let's not forget that your gun is again useless as soon as the home invaders put their gun on one of your defenseless family members. Would you bet their life on your speed? Again let's not forget ESCALATION if every criminal assumes every victim is armed would it stop crime? Nope it would just make sure the criminal is extra careful to keep the element of surprise, the criminal will try to outgun and outnumber.
As always you forget or willingly ignore that gun control isn't meant to stop crimes from happening (nothing can stop crimes from happening) it's meant to reduce the probabilities of collateral damage especially in urban areas and to minimize the extent of damage a single person can do against groups of people before they are neutralized.

@kayoshin I think youre missing my point, yeah I see that there’s safety issues involved but look at other things that kill people, cigarettes kill people, cars kill people, knives kill people and baseball bats kill people just like guns, but you know what makes a gun different from the rest? A gun has a safety switch.

@SW-User a car has multiple safety systems, everything else you mentioned doesn't offer mass murder capabilities. Cars would probably be banned too if the benefits wouldn't outweigh the damage by such a landslide.
