Okay, I understand in this kind of situation that won't matter, because he or she probably wasn't a criminal until then. But what about against criminals. You don't think gun control hampers civilians against that?
And let's be clear. Even w/ the laws the way they are now, you can't even carry into schools, banks etc. So you don't think that has even skewed how were looking at this?
No, you see, you don't get to just run around and move the goalposts to whatever you want. You assumed that having that CCW law would have prevented this, then when I informed you that Kentucky has already had that law for 4 years you started jumping to something else. Where's the step where you realize your ideology is based on false assumptions and begin to reevaluate your thinking?
The fact that you switched it up so effortlessly suggests that you already have your preset beliefs, and are just looking for an excuse to justify them.
So far as criminals go, places with easy gun access and easy CCW allowance don't get reduced crime as a result. Studies have proven that people who carry are 5x MORE likely to die in a mugging that people who don't carry (likely because the people who carry try to pull and that makes the mugger more likely to off them cause he had the jump anyway). Studies show that people who have a gun in their home are 2x MORE likely to die on a homicide that people who don't (stranger murder rates don't change at all whether there's a gun in the home or not, but family-member murders increase so much the overall rate doubles). The idea that guns stop crime is entirely unsupported. The vast majority of research shows that more guns results in more violent/deadly crime, and virtually ALL the research that makes the opposing claim is back on two individuals: John Locke, who is a proven fraudster who faked research results and created false identities to support his work, and Gary Kleck, a gun-obsessed professor who bases many of his findings on a faulty survey so absurd that the result suggested 2/3 of all rapes in America are stopped by defensive gun use (even though something like 1% of women carry guns). Both of them are laughed at by the rest of the academic community, and outside of them you can't find jack shyt showing gun prevalence decreasing crime anywhere.
