If people were able to protect themselves the outcome might be different.
Dropping relative to obscenely high levels for nations that aren't third world civil war disasters, sure.
Your whole shtick about the more guns making society safer is a well-known lie. There is something profoundly demented about a societal view premised on everyone being armed all the time in order to have reasonable assurance of making it through the day.

I'd say objectivity isn't in their vocabulary at this point.
The level of indifference to logic is mind boggling. I've yet to hear one person actually make a case for HOW we'll be safer with a nationwide gun ban. They only fall back to personal attacks and sarcasm when faced with facts.

Tell it to Australia. Seems that once they made all their gun laws a lot harder, all those spree shooters must of moved there. Right? because now its so easy
Never has a spree killing been stopped by a armed civilian.
6. The Golden Market shooting
July 19, 2009
The details are murky but according to reports, a man entered a Golden Market in Virginia in 2009 and began firing a gun. He shot and wounded the clerk and then began firing at patrons inside. He ran out of ammo and was attempting to reload when he was shot, wounded, and then subdued by a permit holder who happened to be in the store.

Then why is society safer now compared to the last 40 years while gun sales have increased?
