Yes, there could be a drop in violent crimes if everyone had a gun. That's besides the point.
If there were few to no guns there would few to no deaths by handguns. There is nothing politically correct about this.
The problem isn't who owns handguns. The problem is that they are manufactured en masse and readily available to anyone who wants them. You toss these into the socio-economic stew that is "wrong side of the tracks" America and is it any wonder there are so many gun related deaths?
Sure you will still have some knife deaths... you will still have some beating deaths. You aren't going to ever eradicate murder.
Like I said earlier... this is all just imagining though. It is too late. That pandora's box was opened long ago and there is very little that is going to fix it. The part that pisses me off is that the vast number of handguns available on the streets of Canada are brought across the border from the US.
Our laws do not prevent you from owning one but they do make it difficult enough to get one... that is, unless you cross the border.
