and confiscate every gun, just like Burundi or even Venezuela. Venezuela still has the second highest murder rate in the world.
Many fear Burundi's door to door confiscations be the start of mass democide not seen since neighboring Rwanda.
If there were no guns, you don't think those suicides wouldn't be rope deaths? Do you think gun laws stop Chicago gangs from getting guns? Ask the folks that work for Charlie Hebdo how France's gun laws worked out for them. Better yet, ask Sabrina Moss about UK gun laws. Oh wait, you can't because she bled to death on a London sidewalk because she walked in front of some gang banger's machine gun.
Gun bans do not save lives. There is no evidence, outside of Bloomberg funded shill studies, that they will. No, not even Australia. In fact, New Zealand is safer than Australia, and see the Gun City TV ad below. No, I wouldn't pay that much for a Chinese made AR.
I had an elementary school classmate and one of my nieces probably wouldn't be alive today if they didn't have access to a gun when they needed it then. Fortunately, my niece didn't have to shoot. Unfortunately, my classmate had to shoot his drunken step father to stop him from literally beating the kid's mother to death.

Forgot the New Zealand commercial
