It’s an argument that can go either way. Obviously lack of guns or an increase in the number of guns is not going to make crime go away or make crime increase. If someone wants a gun they can buy one illegally.
Obviously tough sentencing is not going to reduce crime either. The USA has stronger sentencing than any other 1st world country yet still has 10 times the murder rate of Canada and most European countries.
I applaud this law for bringing freedom to its people. But the only thing that will truly make everyone safe is a change in attitude. Instead of spending 5 million dollars to keep someone in jail for life they could prevent the crime from happening in the first place by reducing poverty, increasing literary and making schools safe.
That’s my take on it!
