2nd Amendment

[aviator]

China is an example of a country heavily regulated by gun control laws.

But look at this

In the space of two years.

Surely that is inevitable. Especially looking at their high population, crime would be a lot higher.

No, it is about specific school attacks not general crime rates...

Ok. Well, school attacks and other horrific crimes will occur. Having laws such as the second amendment just make it that much easy, in my opinion. The U.K has had a few school attacks even with our gun laws in place. No matter what laws there will be loopholes or someone who finds a way to get a gun or anything else to break the law. The question is more about the ease of how it can be achieved and having no or little gun control laws makes it very easy, and obviously, stricter rules and harsher punishments made it harder and to deter some people, however, with mentally ill people the punishment won't deter them, they will just do the crime and pay the time, only just that time will be shorter.
