tanatastic 2,061 Posted April 8, 2018 no I think it does ABSOLUTELY nothing How can you say it does nothing when England has far less gun violence than the USA? Yes there are way more factors (more black people here being the main one if I’m being honest) at play than just the ban. But you can’t just confidently say it does nothing when the facts from countries where guns are banned says otherwise. I don’t think a ban is the answer, I’m just playing devils advocate on the side of fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
