Where's all the data then?
How can you collect data on something that hasn't happened?
Isn't that the very definition of conjecture?
At least bans/severe restrictions in other countries HAVE happened and there is actual data to study.
Hmm let's see... Great Britain, Japan, Australia, New Zealand... combined population = 230 million people... total gun related deaths last year = 552 deaths
Canada population = 39 million people... 875 deaths
We're not awful here, but we could be a lot better... still 10x as much per capita as other countries population wise that have severe gun controls/restrictions... we should be down to ~90 deaths to match the same ratio as other countries who have similar legislation. Like I said, not horrible compared to our fugged up neighbours to the south, but not great either.
I wouldn't consider any of those countries to be gestappos with no freedoms either? Would happily live in any of them.
