you dont think more people would be dying if they werent as strict
Probably less, because everyone would have a gun. Probably be an initial increase as criminals adjusted to the loss of power but it would eventually drop as responsible adults outweighed a criminal element and gun related deaths would be a result of crimes of passion among non-criminal citizens.
You need to be more american you know. Believe in freedoms and stuff. Starting to sound like 1 of those commies.
