"At its worst, gun control fails to keep guns out of the hands of the bad guys. At its best, gun control may keep the guns out of the hands of the bad guys, but then they just resort to acid, knives, cars, trucks, roofs, windows or any other number of horrifying means."

Via The Federalist:

I wish that I could tell you that gun control worked in England, but there you have to watch out for acid. I wish that I could tell you that I was safe in the Middle East, but there you have to watch out for, well, pretty much everything. I wish that I could tell you that gun control worked in Japan, but there you might have to watch out for poison gas, knives, or maybe even an errant sword. I wish that I could tell you that gun control worked in China, but there you have to watch out for mass stabbings.

I also wish that I could tell you that gun control brought about more civil governments in most of the countries that we’ve spoken of, but with the notable exception of Japan — a highly insular island nation — I have to say that many of the governments have become more oppressive in countries that have gun control, because they know that the people will struggle to rise up if they are unarmed.

Each of the countries that I’ve ticked off is a unique nation state. Each has a unique culture and unique history. But, no matter which country or region it is, gun control has failed to prevent bad actors from doing horrific things.

At its worst, gun control fails to keep guns out of the hands of the bad guys. At its best, gun control may keep the guns out of the hands of the bad guys, but then they just resort to acid, knives, cars, trucks, roofs, windows or any other number of horrifying means.
