“the only way to guarantee that we will dramatically reduce acts of violence involving guns is to basically remove guns from society”
Does anybody really disagree? “
Yes, I disagree. more guns in the hands of people able to defend themselves will ensure violence DECREASES as perps will not attack armed citizens.
Gun (and other) violence has decreased considerably over the last 20 years or so.
I’m all in favor of armed self-defense, but do you seriously contend that criminals will stop killing each other if more decent people are armed?
