More guns = more homicides. Period.

Enough is enough

"What the New York Police Department found out, through empirical experience and better organization, was that making crime even a little bit harder made it much, much rarer. This is undeniably true of property crime, and common sense and evidence tells you that this is also true even of crimes committed by crazy people (to use the plain English the subject deserves). Those who hold themselves together enough to be capable of killing anyone are subject to the same rules of opportunity as sane people. Even madmen need opportunities to display their madness, and behave in different ways depending on the possibilities at hand. Demand an extraordinary degree of determination and organization from someone intent on committing a violent act, and the odds that the violent act will take place are radically reduced, in many cases to zero."

No less true today then when it was written in 2012

Enough is enough. Innocent people are dying for your fucking delusional fetishization that is fed by an irrational fear of being attacked by an armed assailant, even though the odds of that happening are very low.

You have a better chance of dying in a car crash.

Just because you've never been a victim of a crime doesn't mean the odds are low. If someone forcibly enters your house unarmed then arms himself with one of your kitchen knives what are you going to do? How do you think it would turn out?

More alcoholic beverages = more driving while intoxicated. Period.

Yes, we could be hurt or injured in a car wreck. So what do we do? We wear seat belts and drive defensively. We don't ban cars idiot. Concealed carry is the equivalent of seat belts. Not an answer for everything and not a guarantee that you live but it increases the chance you get out alive.
