Quote:Sure if you want to ignore every tyrannical regime in historically just about every other region of the world guns in America is the root of all our problems.


I guess you also have to ignore the highest crime rates in America are in the areas with the strictest and therefore lowest amount of legally owned guns.

 

If Guns prevented crimes, wouldn't America (the country with the largest concentration of guns by far) have the lowest crime rate?  That seems like common sense to me.  Ergo, guns don't prevent crimes.  


You say you're okay with 1000 criminals owning guns if it means not registering your gun.  How about 2000?  3000?  10,000?  At what point do you say "You know what, we need to stop criminals from having guns."  When gun violence actually affects you?
