OK, easy:
Illegal or not, people are going to get guns. Drugs are illegal and yet more people die from overdoses than school shootings. No one is up in arms and looking for solutions to that, are they?
Legal or illegal the problem will persist.
the countries with the least amount of gun related crime and homicide are the countries where guns are illegal.
and drugs are illegal. everywhere. who knows how many more overdoses you would get if you legalized every single drug.
Yes, those statistics are true. But understand there are way more weapons in North America than anywhere else. If they are made illegal it's simply going to create a large and lucrative black market.
There won't be fewer guns by any means or standard.
and there's america's problem. i completely agree, outlawing guns would leave too many guns in the hands of criminals, and none in the hands of the innocent. initially, this would be terrible, for obvious reasons, so i doubt it's going to happen anytime soon.
but it's also the only real way to truly filter most of these weapons out of america. but as i said, its too dangerous and isn't going to happen. this precious 2nd amendment has trapped america in a corner with no clear and easy way out.
