(12,162 posts)So you're saying that more homicides occur in households with guns because those guns were brought into the house because the occupant felt like he or she was in danger?
Is that right? Just making sure we're on the same page.
I read the content at the links you provided. Abuse that escalates to homicide is indeed a problem in this country. Maybe if guns and ammo were heavily regulated and highly taxed the Wisc. shooter profiled in the first link wouldn't have had as easy of a time accessing them. I don't think that means we need to throw the baby out with the bathwater because some restraining orders are broken or ignored.
There is no perfect solution to society's problems, but I believe strong and sensible gun control measures make society better - not worse. It's an agree to disagree situation, I guess.
