Assuming they are in a vacuum then the town thats unarmed is safer for sure. If theyre in a world with already an unreasonable level of violence then it may be different

Pretend for a moment that you are a police officer.

You get a call about a domestic dispute escalating inside of a movie theater.

You go to investigate.

You go into the building which has about 30 people in the lobby.

Everyone there is strapped.

What do you do?

In that situation, the armed citizens of wouldve taken care of it before the cops got there.

factually, statistically, the town where no one owns a gun


Until they get invaded by a country that has guns.

The town where no one owns a gun, and it's not just because of the guns, it's because of the mentality. A town where everyone owns a gun definitively has a large amount of violent-minded people.

that's what the military is for. are you under the impression that a modern, developed country's first line of defense against foreign invasion is regular ass townsfolk banding together as a militia wielding their favorite gun show hauls? no, it's professional warfighters with the full backing of intelligence and logistics services, with weapons at their disposal like tanks and ships and jets and drones. do you think we're still living in 1776 or something?


Except you said "no one." But ok, have fun feeling safe in North Korea.

guns are not useful for self-defense

statistically, it is unlikely that a person who owns a gun will actually be in a scenario where the gun gets used for self defense. the chance of gun owners injuring or killing themselves, with their own gun, is significantly higher

So far less people would die and they will get stopped much quicker. Think is I don't see cops being afraid of a mass stabber in a school like how they hide from mass shooters in the US.

China has a bit of a problem with mass hammerings in schools.

Trick question. If everyone owns a gun, no one owns a gun.

Because the AR-15 is both a weapon of war and yet somehow worthless when fighting a nuclear-armed nation.

Acckshuuhuhly, the AR-15 isn't used for war. -wipes chicken grease on shirt and pushes glasses on to the bridge of the nose-

But for a serious answer to the question, it depends on the people. I've been in military towns where everyone's strapped and didn't think much of it.

The average town? Eh, I'd feel safe after the first couple of years once the majority everyone's pretty much got murder out of their system...it'd be lit for a while, I'd imagine
