which is like arguing hey if we put bacteria in the water maybe if we regulate the water with the bacteria already in it it won't hurt us.
no you, you stop putting the damn bacteria in the water.
God you're an idiot sometimes, and what a stupid analogy. But lets use your poorly thought out analogy. You act like all bacteria is bad - you are forgetting about good bacteria out there that keeps bad bacteria in check...or eliminates it completely. There is ALWAYS going to be some form of "bacteria" in your "water", whether you think so or not, and whether you like it or not. ALWAYS.
You consistently seem to think that gun simply = crime and murder. Let me tell you buddy, I own several weapons, and lot's of ammo; The last time I checked, none of them grew any legs and jumped out of their case and shot anyone yet. I know it's shocking for you, but it's true.
You fail to recognize that Illinois is the ONLY state in the US who doesn't allow concealed carry - and it goes without saying that Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun regulations in the country - but yet their murder rate is ridiculous compared to areas WITHOUT tight gun regulations.
There are 49 states' worth of statistics that prove your thought process incorrect - There have been zero states where the murder rate rose after enacting concealed carry - if anything, it dropped.
This country doesn't have a "gun" problem. It has a culture and mental problem. That is the heart of the problem.
