"Because you are not going to be able to kill everyone that comes to take your stuff." - the possibility of me having a gun makes many NOT to come in the first place.
Go and tell the US (or any other) government to give up on nukes because you are not going to be able to kill everyone that comes to take your stuff.
Can you see how wrong you're?
Nobody is saying no guns. I am saying reasonable gun controls so that nutters can't kill a lot of people easily.
The reasonable gun control doesn't exist, the "nutters" will be able to get a gun.
#Japan has incredibly strict gun control, yet Abe was assassinated just a year ago. Because the "nutters" will always find a way.
I assume that you are not giving every word the importance that it deserves, because you are too busy frothing at the mouth to discuss it rationally, or don't really care.
It's harder to get guns in Japan. In Japan fewer children are killed with guns in school per capita.
That's the crucial impact of 'easier'.
Absolutism and false equivalence shows an unwillingness to engage honestly and find common ground. Which at least goes some way to explaining why you don't want to contribute to making a fair and free society.
If you can't scrutinise and hold your reoresentatives to the values mandated democratically by your society, there is no chance that you are going to constrain armed individuals to reasonable social behavior.
It would seem to me that you should work on that, not the rights of the criminal or unstable to easy access to guns in order to exercise their whim to kill people.
I suppose that we are all different though.
Japan has had multiple frenzied knife attacks in schools killing children.
Estimated guns per capita - Switzerland 27.6, Eswatini 4.8
Firearm homicide deaths per 100k - Switzerland 2.64, Eswatini 37.16
Could there possibly be other differences between countries that influence gun crime figures than simply number of guns?
If you want to prevent criminals and the mentally unstable from having access to guns keep them in prison and asylums.
It's EASIER to fix the government while the citizens have access to guns.
That's the crucial impact of 'easier'.
It would seem to me that you should work on that, not the rights of criminal or unstable, working for the government, to easy access to guns in order to exercise their whim to kill unarmed people.
I suppose that we all are different though.
Here's another fact for you - In Japan fewer children are killed with guns in school, more children are stabbed.

You can kill a lot of ppl easily with a pistol. Should pistols be banned?
