Gun laws where guns take the most lives
Nobody seems to point out the obvious fallacy of the &quot;right to protect yourself&quot;. If having that right actually results in being more likely to be harmed, or harm someone else, having that right is an unacceptable public safety risk.<p>A common argument against gun control (&quot;should we ban hammers next?&quot;) is obviously fallacious when you compare it to an even more extreme comparison (&quot;should we ban private ownership of nuclear weapons?&quot;). It&#x27;s obvious that some &quot;weapons&quot; are ok because they aren&#x27;t a big public safety risk, whereas other &quot;weapons&quot; are a gigantic public safety risk. Guns are quite obviously a significant risk to public safety, as the murder statistics demonstrate.
