Only to see them replaced with firebombs and other explosive attacks like you see in Europe and the Middle East.
The Maj. Hassans and VT shooters of the world will be simply content to blow people up rather than shoot them and the rest of us will simply be deprived of our means of stopping them.
Indeed. Hence the problem.
However, the public has been deceived by the insistence on talking about "gun crime" as if that's somehow special. Its not. You're just as dead if you get blown up or stabbed, as shot.
Like I said, gun control is a solution looking for a problem. The people insisting on extensive gun control are interested in controlling guns, not really in controlling violence or deaths. The means
is the end for them.
