More Guns = Safer Country
Despite the emotional pleading for gun control from some organizations, guns are more prevalent today and the US is safer for it.
You cannot make up this level of illogical, emotionally based stupidity. Laws and policies should be based on facts, not emotions. Anti-gun groups try to scare emotional people into supporting gun and magazine bans, even though the facts do not support any of their claims.
1) Just because a magazine holds more than some magical number you anti-gunners determined to be “normal” does not in fact make them “large-capacity.”
2) That decade that they were banned proved that nationwide magazine capacity laws had absolutely no effect on violent crime, which is why that ban was allowed to expire.
3) During that decade long national ban, criminals intent on committing violent crime had no problem obtaining any of the millions of pre-existing “large-capacity” magazines.
4) “Large-capacity” magazines do not make guns any deadlier. What bans on them do affect, and negatively, is the average law abiding concealed carrier’s ability to defend themselves.
5) Multiple mass-shooter incidents across the nation (Virginia Tech & Isla Vista to name two) show that even when there are magazine capacity laws in place, those laws do not stop evil people from attacking innocents. The suspects just prepare by buying and bringing more low-capacity magazines with them.
If you look at the homicide rate in the United States, you can see that the gun and magazine bans have zero effect on the national homicide rate.
Even though the country has been “swamped” with hundreds of millions of “large capacity magazines,” tens of millions of “assault weapons” and constitutional carry has exploded across the nation, which according to those seeking more gun control was going to cause blood to flow in the streets and turn the US into the “wild west,” in actuality the United States currently is the safest it has been in at least 60 years.
That last bit bears repeating.
Despite the growing number of relaxed concealed carry laws, an abundance of “large-capacity” magazines, and more “assault weapons” than ever before, the country is the safest it has been in more than 60 years.
Imagine how safe it would be if we went back to locking up violent criminals 🤔
