Let's say there are two cities.
In City A, guns are rare. Very few people privately own guns. It's just the culture there. There is one gun shop for the whole city. There are very, very few firearms in circulation. Gun crime is low simply because of the lack of firearms. There is no established black market, so criminals can only buy guns from law-abiding citizens.
In City B, guns are commonplace. Everyone has a gun. There are gun shops on every corner, and there are many, many guns in circulation.There are way more guns in circulation, and therefore criminals have far more access to guns. There is an established illegal black market for guns where criminals can buy them.
Now try banning guns. In City A, it's very easy. The few people who do own guns turn their guns in. Criminals lose their only source of guns, the law-abiding citizens.
In City B, it's very hard. Every law-abiding citizen turns over their guns. But the established black market lives on, and criminals still have guns.
Rename City A England, and rename City B America. That's how it works.i would slice your throat if it wasnt for us not being physically near each other. But no, your stupidity will eventual cuase you to dieHe's right though.
Also, look at NYC. We have a ton of gun violence here, yet we have the strictest gun rules in the country.
And then compare that to Kennesaw, GA, where owning a gun is mandatory. They're one of the safest cities in the country.
