Of course, there is already an endless number of guns on people hands and basements. The fact that the US is the rich country with the highest murder rate is all the proof one needs that tighter gun laws make for a safer place.

- SV_BubbleTime 5y ago> all the proof one needs that tighter gun laws make for a safer place. You can look at Australia in 1997 for good proof of this. They banned most guns in 97, almost doubled police per capita, and crime fell. Less guns, less crime, there are definitely no examples where that is not true. Done. Proven. Full stop. Do not continue reading. Please pay no attention that during 97 crime had already been falling in Australia. That crime also dropped in the USA over the same time period but by a greater rate with no exceptional increase in police per capita. All this despite record gun sales in the USA.
- iostream23 5y agoExplain to me how guns deaths can be up when guns are difficult to obtain? Fact: gun deaths are reduced when there are less guns in circulation. The entire rest of the world outside of the exceptional USA is proof that yes, if there is a political will to reduce the amount of guns in circulation, there are, in fact, less guns in circulation. Your entire argument hinges around the notion that large numbers of illegal guns are inevitable, which is really only true if 1) you live in or next to the worlds largest arms manufacturer and exporter 2)you live in a failed state or war zone in which your nation is the target of arms sales. Let’s please not say up is down and black is white.
