You’re absolutely right. All the mass shootings happen in ‘gun free zones’. Obama’s own justice department, which clearly was for gun control, found that between 500,000 and 1million shooting incidents per year were prevented from escalating into mass shooting events because of armed civilians. Imagine even a quarter of those weren’t prevented! Also, the OP mentions britain and I believe they have a lot of knife crime instead. Take away people’s guns and they’ll find other weapons to use instead

On "gun free zones" I think this is so obviously an absurd idea I have no idea how anyone could support it. If you have an armed nation you can't just say "if you walk down this street no guns are allowed." Wtf is that???
And yes high levels of knife crime particularly among gangs. Not only that but in London especially, but other cities too, there is still gun crime among those gangs too.
Recently there was a story that hit the news because some gang member accidentally shot a child and this was in a fairly small town in the UK.
To state the ridiculously obvious: criminals don't follow the law.
Yeah that’s right. Back in the day, Giuliani put the broken windows policing in play with the NYPD. It was very effective because they found when they arrested people for jumping the subway turnstiles, often they had illegal guns on them, on their way to commit other crimes.
