    Lol no. You won’t be getting a reduction in crime without a reduction in firearms.

      How does that work?

      I mean, the overwhelming majority of violent crimes are committed without the perpetrator being armed with a gun.

      Are you under the impression that the mere existence of guns leads people who don’t have them to commit violent crimes? What is the mechanism by which guns drive violent criminals without guns to violently crime?

        There are more mass shootings in the US every week than there were in the whole of Europe in the last decade.

            So mass shootings are not a crime. I see…

          The fact that Ukraine is in Europe tells me that is untrue. Or did you forget that I included suppression of political dissidents, invasions, and genocide among my reasons for an armed populace?
