    Also, it’s worth noting that he would be just as dangerous with a knife or a car or a bow.

      They like saying “a bomb” these days. And then I like asking them which country with gun control has daily bombings.

        I like asking what countries have strict gun control, lower violent crime rates in general, and social safety nets/better living conditions?

        Turns out that every country with very strict gun control also has safety nets and better living conditions, but how much effect on violence do these variables have individually? It makes sense that a society of extremely happy and well-off people won’t randomly murder each other the moment you give them guns.
