I live in a gun controlled country and sport shooter's guns are not locked up in the sport centre. They are permitted to carry them back and forth to the sport centre and keep them locked up in their home. Technically nothing to stop any one of them from going nuts one day and going on a shooting rampage.

so than tell what the difference is between usa and canada.
are canadians less crazy ? if yes another reason to take the americans the guns away.
in germany we do not have a speed limit on motorways - but we do not have a problem because drivers are trained and streets are good. IF that would be a problem - believe me germany would not be the last country in the world who does not have a general speed limit.
nobody looks here for a solution for a not existing problem - that is a big difference.

So people only commit crimes with guns? What if someone comes at you with a knife? Or are you going to fight him off with another knife, if you have one? Your fists? Your purse? Or would you rather have a gun?

i think the answer is easy to answer with a contra question.
how many people you think would this school shooter be able to kill with a knife ?
and would he have dared to go in there with a knife and face hundreds of students?
have you seen this midget? 3 girls would take his knife away and kick his ass.

What about an unarmed man simply being able to overpower a woman and rape her? No weapons involved? Do you expect her to fight back only by clawing, kicking and screaming? Or would she be much more able to save herself with a gun?

you will always find situations where you can say "it would habe been better if.."
also there are weapons what are not made to kill someone. gas sprays and
shockers and much more. but believe me - in such a situation would the victim not be able to find the gas or shocker in her handbag same as she does not find the gun.
so also NO good argument

And if you ban guns for everybody the criminals will still have guns because they're criminals and they don't follow laws to begin with.
|
no they will not - they also donīt do it in countries with gun control.
and even with this argument there are 99% less people killed.

A gun ban in the US will lead to a sharp increase in crime guaranteed.

you are probably right in that and this is the price they pay for centuries of misunderstanding the word "right"
but on the longer view it will change. and a lot of excuses can not be used anymore
(like: I thought he was a housebreaker).
and a lot of killings what happen in this "switchoff moments" where people are killing
without thinking just because they HAVE a gun in the near would not happen anymore.
i mean there are existing examples of a similar situation in england and even numbers from switzerland what had once the most liberal weapon law in europe.
there "NSA" and the people who did not want to give up their rights had the exact arguments as you have.
today, after they went this step, england is one of the countries with the less homicides in the whole world and even when switzerland had not such a problem (probably similar to canada) the homicides went down DRASTIC.
so how many more examples you need.
it works everywhere. show me ONE country in the world where it does NOT work.
