Going to grad school to study this so I spend a lot of time reading studies on gun violence.

Short answer: fewer guns, fewer gun deaths. Most modern American homicides can be summed up in just a few categories: personal (husband/wife kinda deal), suicide, accidental, then drug/inner city shyt. With restrictions on gun purchases, trafficking, storage, ect., there's a reduction in your death rates. Most guns per capita: Alaska. Highest firearms death rate per capita: Alaska (mainly suicide and accidental).

Taking guns away does not prevent all gun deaths from happening. It just makes it harder. There aren't innocent bystanders to stabbings. Turns out people shoot themselves a lot less(the most effective and the go-to suicide choice for men) when you can't get your hands on a gun.

Ending the manufacturing of firearms in America would be politically impossible. NO ONE is better at politics than the NRA. But if you could, there's still about 300 million firearms floating around. Say you get rid of those. You'd have to eliminate trafficking too. Gun violence is a cultural problem as much as it is about access to firearms. We love them too much to even acknowledge or take the public health concerns seriously.

Access to guns does make it easier for people to kill one another.

:ehh:

I think a reasonable question to ask is....since the gun industry has a vested interest in selling more guns, are they actively seeking to promote environments where people need to buy their guns?...thus increasing their revenues and profits?

There will always be bad apples in society. But education reduces poverty. Less poverty less crime. Facts.

You can kill someone using your barehands or a knife. Nobody needs a gun. A gun in the hands of someone who isn't willing to shoot is useless. A knife in the hands of a killer is deadly. If we ban guns we should ban knives. And forks. And metal bats. And anything else that i could grab in the heat of the moment and use to kill you. Guns really aren't the problem. People are.

And even if we did stop manufacturing guns today it wouldn't matter. There is illegal guns on the street. People know the general design of a gun and will figure out how to make their own weapons. If you want to stop a problem you have to fix the cause. Not attack the symptoms.
You take that gun and pills from most these nikkas and they straight p*ssy. They ain't gon stab you, they ain't gon fight you. They just gon talk tough til somebody call they bluff. U can close ya eyes and shoot at nikkas from across the street. U ain't doing that with a knife. Now if a nikka is a for real killer, it don't matter. but most of these nikkas ain't shyt without them guns.

You only need to listen to the NRAs convention speeches to see how much they play it up. We live in the least violent time in human history but you'd think a Muslim/thug/gov't agent coming to take your guns and freedom/UN New World Order/alien is around every corner listening to them speak.

The people buying the most guns live in safe neighborhoods. They also are into hunting and shooting for sport. The gun industry is profitable with or without inner city crime. Yes, the fear of the negro causes people to purchase firearms as well but IMO, it's not a significant amount.

A tool used for what?

It's disingenuous to conflate cars, guns, and screwdrivers. Their purposes aren't the same. They can be all used to kill someone but only ONE was manufactured, designed, and perfected for that purpose.

I agree that the environment piece needs to be fixed. That doesn't mean we allow a free for all in the meantime.
