In reality, taking guns away is what would make us all safer. Personally, I'm tired of all the excuses for why guns shouldn't be restricted. Look at Australia. After a mass shooting they took guns away and -- gasp! They haven't had a mass shooting since! How in the world is that possible? Could it be that having guns leads to shootings? Do you think?
