Thats also a fallacy. The government is just you the people. Armies of them. So like any government, if they go bad, they get overthrown. By their own people normally. And the government has a very strong military, air force, and missiles, bombs, and nukes. What you going to do with your handgun or rifle? Silly argument.
then yes - Gun Crime will go down - Gun related - other kinds of crimes will go up - killings in other areas will go up - just a Gun wont be used - but i would be OK if there were NO Guns for no one at all if that in fact would keep innocent people from being killed
True, SLIGHTLY, but as the figures worldwide show, they do not ever go up enough to matter compared to having guns. The US has far more dead by
all violent means than the UK per 100.000. Because guns make it too easy, too fast, too distant from the other ways of killing.
https://www.indexmundi.com/facts/indica ... 5/rankingsDeath by all violent means:
UK just 0.9 of a person per 100k population.
US 4.9 persons per 100k population. Right up there with places like somalia, sudan, kenya, cameroon, and worse than Kazakhstan rowanda etc. Trumps "shit hole" countries...
US person is fully
5 times more likely to end up dead, by gun/knife/everything violent than in the UK. Five murdered to every one here. So removing the guns has NOT increased deaths by other means as you say. Its just stopped all the gun deaths! Because those other ways are much harder, messier, and more involved personally. And this also ignores accidental gun deaths or your gun elevated suicide rate too. And that doubles the figure to 10x more likely to die violent deaths. And theres a good few of those too!
So guns make you five times more likelyto die. Same in every modern rich western country. Those with real gun laws, less dead by EVERY method. You do
not get an increase in knife deaths to compensate in any substantial way.
