Does Gun Control Save Lives?

By Deejo | Thinking-Out-Loud | 25 Mar 2021


Does gun control work? Let me break it down. Will murderers obey gun laws? Will people who go into public areas and start shooting follow gun laws? It should be so obvious that I shouldn’t have to answer that, but apparently, that is not the case.

The liberal/democrat/socialist/communist media and politicians want you to believe that more gun laws will stop violence. What they don’t want to tell you... the truth. (They actually increase the violence by not speaking the truth... but that is another article.)

Forbidding law-abiding citizens from owning guns (even a particular kind) because of an emotional response to a tragedy is preposterous. Anyone who chooses to go on a shooting spree DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANY LAWS, especially gun laws!

On the other hand, allowing law-abiding citizens the ability to protect themselves (and those around them) from the very people who are committing these horrific crimes is an absolutely necessity. When these shootings begin people might start dying within seconds. It usually takes police minutes to arrive on the scene. If trained armed citizens are already on the scene, they could potentially stop the threat much sooner.

There are stories the MSM doesn’t want you to know about. I will post a few here.

A 'Good Guy With a Gun' Prevented a Texas Church Shooting From Becoming a Massacre

Thank the Second Amendment: Armed hero stops possible mass shooting

Louisiana shooting spree leaves 3 dead; armed citizens credited with saving lives

These are a few of the stories that did manage to get through. Of course, they stop talking about these heroes as quickly as they can. In reality, the fact that armed citizens can save lives does not fit their narrative or agenda.

According to AmericanGunFacts.com nations with strict gun laws have higher violent crimes.

"Nations with strict gun control laws have substantially higher murder rates than those who do not in general. In fact, the 9 European nations with the lowest gun ownership rate have a combined murder rate 3x that of the 9 European nations with the highest gun ownership rate!"

And AmericanGunFacts.com also says that with just one exception, mass shootings happen where citizens are not allowed to carry guns.

"With just one exception, every public mass shooting in the USA since 1950 has taken place where citizens are banned from carrying guns. Despite strict gun regulations, Europe has had 3 of the worst 6 school shootings."

So why do the MSM and too many politicians NOT CARE when our cities are burning down? They call these events "protests," unless they can deceptively pin it on Trump supporters, like the Capital. But they take full advantage of these emotion filled tragedies to link people's emotions like anger, sadness, and indignation to guns rather than where they belong... lawless people doing horrific events.  

The Liberal government is desperate to take away our guns because then there would be no one that could stop them from the completion of their coup d'état and bring in complete tyranny! They continue to use emotions to get people to support these efforts to disarm America! Do we want to allow these power-hungry politicians to disarm us? Don't be controlled by their reckless and subversive emotional pleas. Fewer armed citizens equal more violent crime.
