[QUOTE=AlbertWesker;52897627]No I mean the ones mentioned in the past 8 1/2 gun debate threads which consistently show that the amount of firearms ownership has no meaningful effect on the amount of violent crimes/murders.[/QUOTE] Does that account for threshold effects? [QUOTE]Also the statistics taken by the freaking FBI which consistently show that assault weapons bans don't do shit, because they generally aren't used for the vast majority of crimes involving a firearm.[/QUOTE] I don't think banning a specific type of weapon would have much of an effect either. [QUOTE]Also the amount of criminals lately who acquire weapons despite it already being illegal because the people tasked with keeping track of that shit can't do their fucking job right.[/QUOTE] That might have something to do with the country being oversaturated with them to begin with. Can't introduce any restriction without disadvantaging law-abiding citizens because criminals are able to acquire them illegally and easily thanks to this overabundance anyway. You're basically stuck in this position. Thank fuck this isn't an issue in Europe, your average delinquents there carry jack shit.
