Yes...the U.S. is safer because normal Americans have guns....
The Europeans in the 1920s banned and confiscated guns from their people......in the 1930s the German socialists murdered 15 million men, women and children........do you know how big that number is? That happened in just 6 years........barely 15 years after the countries of Europe took guns away from normal people....
Americans use their guns 1.1 million times a year to stop rapes, robberies, murders, stabbings, beatings, and last year they stopped 4 mass public shootings........
So, you don't really understand the issue....
Last year we had 6 mass public shootings, 43 people killed.....
6 people out of over 330 million Americans...
43 people killed by mass public shooters...
Deer kill 200 people a year.
Ladders kill 300 people a year.
Lawn mowers kill between 90-100 people a year...
So mass public shootings are the rarest of rare events......and they are horrible when they happen.......but when a criminal attacks you in your home or on the street...or the government begins to round up innocent people.....guns in the hands of good people save lives...more lives than are taken by mass public shooters.
