Maybe the massacres like this are done by people who snapped but i dont know for sure like Virginia tech I think the pistols were illegally obtained…however the majority of shootings and crimes involving guns I would 100 percent say confidently are done by people who are not legally allowed to possess guns and more people are killed/robbed criminally by illegally possessed guns every year than legal.
Impossible statistic to determine? Weren’t you on the side of that gun laws don’t work? That’s also an impossible statistic to determine
I think some laws are needed of course.
I agree its the same idea, you can’t exactly say that carrying stops crime…but i think rationality would say otherwise…if you were going to commit a crime would you be more or less apt to do it if you could get shot at…but its true I can’t prove guns statistically lower crime. There may be stats out there that do but I’m just speaking from a common sense pov.
Thirdly, yes gun fights are with people that are nuts. So are the people that shoot up public places.
some are nuts, some are desperate, some are trying to evade capture
“Most don’t” - most aren’t on trial for such matters, the ones that don’t fit in “most” are.
Most are dead, hence the deterence
If CCW guns were 100% deterrent there wouldn’t be any crimes in Texas or shootouts. They do happen. They happen in small percentages. If they don’t work 100% than it’s not a solution and no policy gun friendly or not works at 100% efficiency, goes back to this can’t be stopped and stupid or insane people shouldn’t have guns.
So if something doesn’t work 100 percent of the time its no a solution? i agree stupid people shouldn’t have guns and those who want to get them legally or not to go on a massacre will get them…the only hope now is that someone in the crowd has a gun and stops them as quickly as possible.
