Lopen 05/18/18 3:23:26 PM #5:	I don't even necessarily think there'd be more like, malicious shootings. Those might even go down. Like the idea that criminals are less likely to do stuff if any potential victims are armed actually makes some sense. But a bunch of people, I would say maybe even more than not, are too unstable emotionally to be toting a gun. Panic shootings (and suicides) go way the hell up, overshadowing any reduction in malicious crimes several times over. --- No problem!

Underleveled 05/18/18 10:16:05 PM #26:	UltimaterializerX posted... KujikawaRising posted... Provided this data includes suicides, self-defense, and accidents, then it would increase drastically. Suicide and gang violence shouldnt be included in such stats. The former will just find a different way and the latter will have guns anyway. Gangs, absolutely true. I don't exactly think they'd fall under the "law abiding citizen" category anyway, so this theoretical situation shouldn't affect gang violence whatsoever. As for the suicide thing, I think it would definitely increase drastically. To say that they would just "find a different way," most other methods take some degree of planning. If you place a gun in a potentially suicidal person's hand, then any time they have an episode it is that much more tempting to just put a bullet in their head right then and there. Maybe it shouldn't be included as a "violent crime," but it's something that should be considered, hence why I suggested adding "sound-minded" to the hypothetical prerequisites. --- darkx Top hopefuls for Smash 5: Isaac, Shantae, Travis, Toad, Takamaru, Octolings, Ashley, Waluigi, Zael, Fleming, Stylist, Snip & Clip <cite>Underleveled posted [p:901602771] in If every a...
