I think it's more defensive and paranoid to rid people of their firearms because you fear that they will kill you. Regardless, it's not the wild west, the vast majority of legal firearm owners do not commit crimes.
Sure, there's a connection between crime and firearms because firearms are the current meta, without firearms there would be a new meta but we both know criminals aren't going to just not have guns if legal owners don't.
Where I live we don't have guns (other than farmers) but our knife crime is through the roof, even beating New York's murder rate for a period of time. If your view here is that you're safe from crime just because guns aren't a part of that crime then you're mistaken.
Criminals will always have guns and they're the minority. With your view on this you're instantly taking away the guns of people that wouldn't harm you and giving criminals that would hurt you a far less risk factor for committing a crime. Not only this but I can't help but feel like you're ignoring people that live in rural areas. Do you know how long they'd have to wait for cops to arrive at their area to stop a crime? Too long, the criminal will be long gone. Throw that dude a gun and his rural area home isn't so easy-pickin's.
The reason why bringing cars into this topic is important is because it tests your principles on the topic. If you're willing to take away the property of law-abiding citizens to prevent deaths then you also have to be willing to give up what you have if it also prevents deaths, otherwise it exposes your principles on the topic as weak.
I gave you an example of a country that doesn't have guns like the US yet have a high murder rates with other means. I literally already addressed your reply within my initial reply you replied to.
Do most Democrats hate America?
