People want to regulate guns, not ban them.

That's some bullshit. The end goal is complete disarming of the public. Stop fooling yourself.

If a supply is reduced and people lock up the guns they do have rather than leaving them to be easily stolen, they're less likely to be used in violence

Straw purchases are how the majority of firearms used in crime are obtained, not from theft.

That means when people are violent, they're more likely to use a knife or other weapon that's more convenient to access. When a knife is used, it's highly unlikely that bystanders will also be killed.

Yes tell that to all the people who are killed by knives. Which is 3xs higher than all rifles combined. Which you clearly want to ban..that black plastic rifle you think is a weapon of war, kills around 50-100 people a year. Hands and feet kill 2xs all rifles combined and about 15xs more than the AR-15 yearly.

Also, it's less likely that the victim themselves will die.

This is just nonsense...see above.

And if you think you don't care about the life of another person involved in violence, think selfishly about the cost that you're paying in hospital costs and medical insurance to treat gun woulds of the people who die and can't pay their bill which cost way, way more to treat than knife wounds. Not to mention that if you care at all about the lives of cops, you'll realize that cops are usually the bystanders that get killed by the guns being used in violent acts.

First, I'm all for single payer healthcare, secondly, cops kill on average around 1k Americans a year...yea... I'm not worried about the boots...

The only guns that people want to ban are offensive weapons of war. The only thing they can do with that is commit terrorism.

Lol handguns are used in 95% of all gun violence...and it's like 99% of all suicides. That black scary rifle is a rounding error on firearm deaths...and it's not a weapon of war, it's a semi-auto rifle dressed up in plastic...the military wouldn't be caught dead with one of them.
