Ah, I see, so everything positive can be attributed to guns since it is such a great equalizer right? But a policiy that might have decreased gun shootings doesn't matter due to "small sample" size. I don't think it works that way by the way, since we're talking about large incidents here and pretty high numbers. Just because there are still mass shootings even in Germany, doesn't mean more strict gun restrictions doesn't prevent some of them. Otherwise you could also get rid of laws against murder, since yeah ... they still happen, don't they? That's a faulty logic.



I mean it is kinda simple though, what ever if you see owning guns as right or not, but the lower the number of weapons are, the smaller is the number of homicides involving guns. That's kinda simple logic really. I never made the claim, that stricter gun laws would prevent ALL crime or mass shootings.



Also, almost all western democracies with rather strict gun laws have much less crimes involving guns compared to the US. Now I am NOT(!) saying that this is only due to strict gun laws, but saying it has zero effect would be absolutely false.
