How can anti-gun advocates live with themselves given all the crimes which are prevented by armed citizens and all the unarmed murder victims?
That's interesting. Do you think a full-out ban on guns would be effective in reducing gun violence?
It's difficult to say. Some countries with strict gun laws have lower rates of gun violence, but cultural and societal differences between countries make it challenging to draw direct comparisons. It's also worth noting that gun violence in the US is not solely a result of the presence of guns - factors such as poverty, mental illness, and domestic violence also play a role in the issue.
