Finally, somewhere I might be able to visit there and feel at least a little bit safe in public.
- There's plenty of places you can feel safe in public.
  They're just not in America.
  
  You do realize hundreds of millions of people live here feeling perfectly safe, right?
  Life is generally not what you see sensationalized on TV.
  
  That person doesn't, and I was talking to that person.
- you think criminals are going to follow this decree?
  
  You think every criminal with a gun started the day as a criminal with a gun? The majority of mass shootings started that day as "just another perfectly legal person with a gun being allowed to carry wherever".
  Tell me how many of the last 50 mass shootings were done by someone who was already a "criminal with a gun"
  
  This is some mental gymnastics. How many days started with someone intending on drunk driving? how many days started with someone intending on smashing someones face with a hammer. good lord, by your logic we are ALL criminals just waiting to happen. quick someone call Tom Cruise and the Pre-crime unit.
  
  Hahahah wow you're so close to getting it.
  
  So give up your car if you have one.
  
  I mean, some of them? Plenty of people who shoot others are first offenders. And I'm sure even many dangerous people wouldn't carry a gun around if the mere act of carrying could get you sent to jail. Carrying being legal means that you can blend into the crowd of law abiding people.
  Nobody thinks every gun crime will be stopped with any single act of gun control. But they all reduce it.
