Because you have a way to defend yourself from said violence which would occur with or without guns but with guns you have the ability to defend yourself by leveling the playing field. That's how we are safer.If we're safer, how come we have way more gun violence?
The death rate from violent crimes where the assailant used a gun is ~3 per 100,000 people. If you excludes blacks (who skew the numbers) it drops down to less than 2 per 100,000 people.
Is less than 2 per 100,000 people what you would consider way more?
Using your logic we should ban black people, Joe.
