Sorry, but the above is not an answer. Not even close.
OK, I should have said that More Guns in a First World Democracy with the Rule of Law = More Gun Violence.

Happy now?

This is an entirely rational and defensible position to take. What's your take on why we have mass shootings more than once a day in this country?
