How do gun control laws stop crimes?

[carolina73]

How funny that when drugs kill people that the left wants to make drugs legal.
But with guns they say the opposite.

I think it is the foolish progressive concept of changing something without any plan or logic.

But the two are tied together because drug wars and crimes are the primary reason for intentional homicides.
In 2021 the USA was #51 in intentional homicide rate You will see plenty of consistency in those 50 countries with higher rates than the USA.

I can promise you that you would rather die by a gunshot wound, than be chopped up by machetes.

Any gun control fetishists have an answer that does not involve lies, memes or Trump?

Have at it.

I think that if you really looked into it, legal gun ownership stands as a deterrent.

Results: In the 18 years before the gun law reforms, there were 13 mass shootings in Australia, and none in the 10.5 years afterwards. Declines in firearm-related deaths before the law reforms accelerated after the reforms for total firearm deaths (p = 0.04), firearm suicides (p = 0.007) and firearm homicides (p = 0.15), but not for the smallest category of unintentional firearm deaths, which increased. No evidence of substitution effect for suicides or homicides was observed. The rates per 100 000 of total firearm deaths, firearm homicides and firearm suicides all at least doubled their existing rates of decline after the revised gun laws.

Conclusions: Australia’s 1996 gun law reforms were followed by more than a decade free of fatal mass shootings, and accelerated declines in firearm deaths, particularly suicides. Total homicide rates followed the same pattern. Removing large numbers of rapid-firing firearms from civilians may be an effective way of reducing mass shootings, firearm homicides and firearm suicides.

You can't shoot anyone if you don't have a gun. It's not complicated.

Australia doesn't have a Bill of Rights, nor do they have an inner city gang problem.

Did you know Australia has more guns now than they did before confiscation? This demonstrates guns are not the problem.

Correct, not even in self defense.

While a large portion of the population ignored gun buy backs. They still have their weapons.

Including, the person who is looking to do YOU harm.

No, not complicated at all.
