I'm not that interested in arguing with you

I know, which is why I'm partly blaming you for the topic dying despite there definitely being more arguments to be had


if you want a brief argument here's the tl;dr version

we know that if you ban access to firearms in one place, that they can simply come in from other nearby areas. even many liberals concede on this point. it's the entire crux of their argument for how the gun violence statistics in chicago can be so high despite having strict gun control.

considering we now live in a very global environment where borders are starting to matter less and less, I really don't think the idea of disarming an entire nation is really a good idea. people could simply bring in guns illegally from mexico or other places. all it would do is leave our police woefully underequipped to deal with such a scenario. the military would need to process and re-equip all of their arms if needed to engage in a conflict instead of having a stockpile ready. and, fundamentally, I simply don't agree that the people should have their guns taken away to begin with. so the idea of engaging in such an elaborate plan just to make it acceptable to take away civilian guns doesn't appeal to me from the ground up.
