I have researched gun control a lot in the past 2-3 years. It's pretty interesting how you'd think that more laws would help restrict the criminal's arms (pun probably intended). Well it didn't.
"It's okay. At least these laws froze the crime rate." WRONG. It did the absolute opposite. As soon as new laws are made to halt the circulation of firearms, the crime rate increases by an average of 10%. These statistics were calculated by organizations unrelated to any government.
And I'm talkin in both the U.S. and Canada.
Think bout it logically: The government issues a set of laws that prohibit you from owning, using, or be seen with a firearm. The criminal does NOT give a fck whether there's a law for that or not. They're already breaking other laws.
"But, dude, it's gonna be harder for them to find weapons that aren't sold at Sears!"
Not really. The underground/black markets are already running smoothly - not even counting the governments' role in that. If these laws are passed, these markets would become busier and much more obvious to the average citizen.
Do you think that guns cause the most crimes or death tolls compared to other weapons and methods of death?
Logically, you'd think so... but previously mentioned statistics say no. You can make a lethal weapon out of anything. Anything.
What do I think? We all should have the right to bear arms and protect ourselves from what common sense and logical paradigms perceive as dangerous.
And yes, I do plan to write a fckin book bout it
