oh first of all some people need guns to defend themselves I'm talking about the good guys if they have intruders they have the right to shoot them as far as I'm aware and second of all the criminals won't give up their guns so many countries have banned guns and their problems just went higher U.K. even went as far as now they want to ban knives also did you see the video of the U.K. Police struggling to arrest this one dude with a knife because they are not allowed to carry guns anymore skip to 4:09 to see the clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UG_N9H4XYY&t=346s |
Would you list those countries out for me? Let’s not just say “many countries” because that’s basically a proof surrogate. I’m not saying your wrong at all, but I do like seeing evidence and statistics where available.
About the United Kingdom; can you reference specific articles/statistics showing that things have gotten worse there? I have read a few articles about it and have seen that there was a decrease in gun violence years after the ban took place (which is to be expected, given that it isn’t like placing heavy restrictions on firearms would take effect right away). I read that recently a surge has happened, but the United Kingdom also has dwindling police force numbers... which seems like a far better correlation as to what has been happening to them more recently. So, yeah, if you’ve got articles or other information supporting your points I would really like to see it. You might have access to information I don’t. Aside from that, though, one video doesn’t really do it for me... I prefer more substantive evidence.
