    Man, if the only thing that’s preventing a country’s populace from murdering each other is restricted access to weapons, then that country is a failed society.

      Man, if your country has you living in such fear that you feel the need to be armed at all times, then that country is a failed society.

      Yes much better to arm that populace and have it be a double failure. Your failed society comparison would be an improvement for the US.

      That’s kinda a given, but way harder to fix than introducing weapons control.
