    If thsr were true, would we not see significantly higher rats of homicide and the like when guns are more prevalent? Or even any notable change whatsoever?

      We do see that trend though. Compare the homicide rates of the U.S. with European countries.

        Ahh, yes. Because there’s absolutely zero other differences between countries. If you had a valid point and not just bullshit, countries like Switzerland and Finland would be the murder capitals of Europe and not some of the safest, no?

          You’re the one who asked this question:

          If thsr were true, would we not see significantly higher rats of homicide and the like when guns are more prevalent?

          To which the answer is yes, we see significantly high rates of homicide where guns are more prevalent.

          If you had a valid point and not just bullshit, countries like Switzerland and Finland would be the murder capitals of Europe and not some of the safest, no?

          So you’re saying we should move our gun law to be closer in line with those two countries? I agree! Let’s start by instituting Finland’s requirement for a gun license to be able to own a gun.
