Thats like saying "fewer vaccines means fewer vaccine death", while technically true its also very poor logic. Sadly no, banning guns generally means more homicides overall.

Also who said anything about Canada. Sadly the body of the american data on this clearly disagrees with the assesment.

@freemo @protecttruth
I did not know that about banning guns = more homicide. What country or countries were studied for that result? Thanks!

@AndyLowry

Quite a few I've read about and even did studies on myself.

You can find 4 images showing this across 4 countries as an example here: qoto.org/@freemo/1037666922745

I can share many more examples if you'd like.. in fact the vast majority, with just a few exceptions of countries which banned guns show pretty much the same pattern.

@protecttruth

@AndyLowry @protecttruth Wow I saw those charts it seems like banning guns gives criminals an unfair advantage against law abiding citizens hence more criminals using guns and more guns violence in general. Is that a fair assessment @freemo?

@voidabyss @AndyLowry @protecttruth @freemo the graph's do not show banning guns, does not represent violence involving guns, and do not mention who the perpetrator and victim are

@Soylentgraham

It does indeed show the banning of broad classes of guns (handgubs). So id say its more than close enough
