For self defense?https://twitter.com/johncornyn/status/1041113285842665472 …
In 32 years policing I’ve yet encounter a case of a community member using an AR-15 for self-defense. I’m not saying it hasn’t happened, but I’d bet the house they’ve been used many, many times to slaughter innocent Americans as opposed to self-defense.

Your fantasy world of tough-guy self-reliance and the magical power of guns sounds like it would make a wonderful choose-your-own-ending chapter-book that adolescent boys would enjoy. Acevedo runs police departments in the real world, which is where I spend most of my time.

Why do you hate the Police?

“The result has been roughly 50 to 60 gun deaths a year in England and Wales, which have a population of 56 million. Compare that to the US, a country about six times as large that has more than 160 times as many gun-related homicides.”

The exanples are island or otherwise geographically isolated countries with one massively overwhelmingly large ethnic group predominate and tiny numbers of minority groups. Societal trust would of course be large in these types of closed societies.

Ooooooh. Got it. “If there were fewer immigrants and brown people, we would shoot each other much less.” You’re a genius.

Check your math; you forgot to add the Chicago and carry the Detroit.

Chicago’s problem is Illinois, where you can buy a gun at any gun show.
