N=1 fallacy.
I went to high school with kids that had a gun rack in their 4 wheel drive with a rifle and shotgun...in the parking lot.;Not a single school shooting from adults or teens. We were raised to shoot and hunt from an early age and lesson #1 is to never point a weapon at something you aren't willing to kill. I think the more important question is why rural high gun ownership communities that are just as poor as the inner city have much lower firearm violence rates than cities.

N=1 is invalid for everyone....

Hmmm. Nobody carries guns down under. We got lots of psycho assholes with short fuses. They usually end up punching each others lights out on Friday and Saturday nights. If we had wide spread gun ownership here we'd probably have a blood bath every other week.
When the Howard gubment cracked down on gun ownership after the Port Arthur massacre murder rate fell by more than 50%. All other violent crime fell as well. But crime had been on a downward trend for a long time anyway. What went down most is the suicide rate. Turns out most people who contemplate suicide don't actually go through with it if it takes any kind of planning/effort. But if you have a gun then suicide is so easy. Just a trigger pull away.
America now has more guns than people. That's what I heard, don't shoot me if I'm wrong. So maybe you're too far gone to do anything about gun presence in society anyway. I don't know if restricting gun ownership will change anything at this stage. All I can say is that living in a society where nobody (except law enforcement) has guns is statistically much safer. Homocide rate in my state is around 1 per 100k. Much rarer than car accidents, hospital screw ups, work place fatalities etc.
Basically you don't need a gun if nobody else has one.

In the US more people die from car accidents than gun violence per 100k people...Maybe we shouldn't have cars? BTW, the US is waging a war on "terror" and a US citizen is seven times more likely to be murdered by a police officer than a terrorist....After all, as long as the government is providing the statistics on how successful they are at protecting their livestock from outside predation...
So basically, what you're saying is that as long as murder is illegal there is no reason for self defense?
Likewise, the more of your money the government confiscates to fight things they think are bad for you the less money you have to buy those things you want...true!
Now, tell me how government is good?

you're an idiot
shut up
That means you haven't looked at the data......there is a direct correlation between the "drug war" and firearm deaths. Ban all firearms in the US and there wouldn't be firearms in the US just like plants that can't be grown in the US are more concentrated than ever before in the US. Have a three thousand mile border and make wild claims about gun violence. The US didn't have a an organized crime problem which lead to countless acts of gun violence until prohibition. Let us just ignore Portugal and their legalization efforts....I enjoy looking at firearm deaths in Switzerland....A country that mandates every military age male have a true assault rifle in their house with subsidized ammo from the government.
