This is a loaded one:
First up it implies that gun control laws make us safer, and liberalizing gun laws puts us in peril. Except it doesn’t, gun ownership is at the highest its been in history, and carry laws are the most liberal they’ve been, and they keep getting better, and violent crime is dropping.
This brings me to the anti-rights rallying cry that “90% of Americans Support tighter gun control” and the “NRA is losing ground and is a paper tiger”, coupled with all the spurious “Blood in the Streets” predictions.
If any of the things the anti-rights cult said were true they would be crushing us under their heels.
Of course what they say are lies. “Who’s Going to Win?”
The side that tells the truth.
It’s also a false dichotomy. The two are generally unrelated.
Suppose all legal guns are outlawed and confiscated. Hell, go one step further and suppose all illegal guns are also removed. There’s nothing – repeat, nothing – to suggest that will “save” more than a mere handful of young lives, and it likely will cost many more via weapon substitution (mass stabbings, hammerings, axings, etc.) and parents’ newfound inability to defend their families from violent predators (both two- and four-legged varieties).
It’s the “Gun Death” think all over again. With respect to Jeff Cooper, if you remove the guns, you’ll still have a criminal/violence problem, but if you remove the criminals and violent people, you CANNOT have a gun problem. (Third paragraph from the bottom, as seen here.
