    Oh, now, don’t be rash. Guns don’t people, people kill people, or so I’m told. We should just remove guns from the “bad” people.

    Based on my observations, disallowing (checks notes) males from owning or operating guns would seem to be a near universal solution.

      I think we all know that more guns mean more gun deaths. The stats are pretty clear as a whole.

      It is a pretty small group of people that actually own guns to make them safer. Majority it is to feel safer while making them and everyone around them less safe. That is my big issue with guns. Not gun ownership itself… just nutty ownership.

      Or go to the Bojack horseman route and encourage women to buy guns. You’ll see legislation passed in a flash lol

      There are other self-defense options as well. Lethal firearms could be entirely replaced by non-lethal. If you actually need it for defense, you can still defend yourself with it, but you’re going to have a hard time using it for murder now.

      You could argue that this would increase the amount of defender deaths because they couldn’t neutralize the threat 100%, but it would drastically lower lethal firearm related crimes. Gotta weigh the options.

      I’m all for self defense at a distance, I don’t want to have to risk a scuffle. If someone invades my home in the night, I don’t want to have to fight them. I want them stopped asap with as little force as possible for the safety of everyone, including the invader.
