thank you....
Keeping on with this thread.... IF the legality of owning firearms is the cause of gun violence, then please explain how Mexico, our neighbor to the south, who is so strict on gun ownership.... (a citizen can only own one small caliber firearm (.22 rimfire), and it has to be justified, registered with the army, and kept in the house, not ever carried) had homicides totaling 34,515 in 2020, while the US, for 2020, had homicides totaling 24,576..... I believe this data includes all homicides, not only firearm....
How can this happen, especially with the US having nearly three times the population as Mexico....??
Are they killing each other with rocks? Bats? Knives? Does it matter??
You could say "well, it's all gang/drug cartel violence".... ok, perhaps, but does it make it any less dangerous?
The vast majority of our gun violence is metro-area gang/drug related, as well.
