And it's been shown worldwide. You have more handguns and semiauto rifles, more people die.

Pretty simple. The idea that more guns allows NRA-types to stop shootings is bunk. Yes, they can stop shootings, but only after a bunch of people already are killed.

Best way to stop gun crime: remove guns. Keep single-shot hunting rifles, ban all other guns.
