Does this “vet” think shootings are the only violent crime that results in murder? Do some research and gain some knowledge. Do you really think because a country bans guns, the murder rate drops? Or does the murder rate go higher and possibly happen with other weapons or guns obtained on the black market? Like knives, hammers, etc…
Do you think gun control stops the black market? All gun control accomplishes is disarming law abiding citizens. Hard to believe people are really this ignorant?
Let’s take a look at one example here…
FYI
“Most of the homicides in Venezuela are committed with firearms, which are widely available. While the government and opposition remain locked in turmoil, weapons have flooded onto the black market, where local police and armies have become the main smugglers. Worse, the government has implemented a policy to arm pro-government supporters, in order to contain protesters.“
“In 2015, Venezuela’s homicide rate was the world’s highest, with 27,875 Venezuelans murdered that year. More broadly, the Bolivarian Republic is the only South American nation with a homicide rate that has steadily risen since 1995. In the year prior to Maduro’s disarmament initiative, the Venezuelan capital of Caracas had a homicide rate of 122 per 100,000 inhabitants, nearly 20 times the global average of 6.2.”
“By comparison, the U.S. homicide rate in 2015 was 4.9; the U.S. gun homicide rate was 3.03 (based on calculation from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports).“

Guns aren’t the main issue, economic status is more of a driver of violent crime. If gun control worked…Chicago, LA, NY, DC, St. Louis, etc would have next to no gun violence, right?!? Come on now, let’s live in reality.
