I can't remember the name of the two towns in the US that literally banned guns years ago but I'm certain someone here does. In revolt another town instituted mandatory ownership. You can guess the end result. The two towns crime levels went trough the roof especially robbery and home breakins. The crooks knew they had free reign. The other towns crime dropped to almost nothing.
@Gibbon Washington DC and Chicago both banned handguns, and both rulings were overturned by SCOTUS. Heller v DC in 2008, and McDonald v Chicago in 2010. Neither ban led to a reduction in crime, and it was Scalia's majority opinion in 2008 that defined the 2nd Amendment.
@BizSuitStacy Yeah I'm close enough to DC it's local news. I remember those bans. I am also not far from where they caught the DC snipers. But I'm going to research those ban stories. I do remember Rush Limbaugh having a field day with both towns.
the US government hasn't feared its own armed population in 250 years. up until mass migration and the weaponised tyranny started.. just a coincidence im sure...
@Carla oh I'm sorry Carla. I guess I have to explain it to you. You see, your side always says less guns, less crime. So here is a country that didn't have a lot of guns to begin with, and banned private gun ownership in the name of safety - as commies always do. And then what happens? The firearm homicide rate is through the roof. Same with Mexico, Brazil, Columbia.
Less guns and lots more crime...wow. How did you miss that? 🤣. Ohhh...you've been ignoring it because it doesn't fit the narrative.
Seriously...and I knew someone would drag the "western nations" narrative into the discussion. You guys always do.
What is it about that saying? You guys dismiss the sky high firearm homicide of Venezuela and other similar countries, as if it's acceptable, simply because they don't fit the definition of "westernized?"
Are they civilized in Venezuela? Yes. They used to be the 4th wealthiest country in the world until socialism took over. It WAS a 1st world nation.
Obviously you don't understand the difference between the word 'then' {my word} and 'caused' {your word} ... GerOttman was quite astute in picking up your twisting of words ...
... i believe the banning of guns was '35 ???
...WW2 was i 'think' 🙄🙄🙄 '39
... here's a few more for you ... 🤔🤔🤔
🤔 ... 🙄🙄🙄
{slot in the word 'precursor' for 'then' ... then issue solved}
