(57,780 posts)50. that might work for the NRA
but the rest of us aren't so stupid as to not realize it's not very difficult to drive to the suburbs to get a gun. A comparison would be Japan, which has an extremely low homicide rate, which is exactly what the gun lobby doesn't want. Every dead body is profit for them, and that is all they care about. It's a simple issue of whether one values human life or the machinery of death. Everything else is just self deception people engage in to try to live with supporting policies that are immoral to the core.
So save your breath. No one here is stupid enough to buy that propaganda.

The more guns there are in all, the more easily they can be illegally obtained.
