European countries deal with stabbings and beheadings instead, not much better, How's France doing btw?
We talk about terrorism here. And mostly with knifes. And those ones can find weapons or guns by illegal traffic etc. Not at all the same subject.
But nobody can buy guns legally so this stops normal people to shoot at each other easily. Only police can do that.
Allowing people to carry guns in France won't help us to solve the terrorism problem at all, this will only lead to more murders both side.
The day we allow people to make their own justice carrying a gun, it means we would have lost against the terrorism.
Imagine if those amateur terrorists had guns.....
Does the quite opposite actually, as I said, if their intentions is to inflict mass casualties, one way or another, they will get a gun, legally or not.
For normal people it will be a lot harder to cause mass murder if they don't have guns at home and don't allow to buy guns easily.
Stopping completly people from causing murder is impossible, and stopping the illegal traffic of weapons is extra extra hard. So yeah people will maybe find a way to buy them. But we have to make that the hardest possible.
less guns = less casualties : and this is proven. Just look at the numbers.
you don't need a gun to cause destruction or harm.
But with guns you can cause a lot more destruction.
You can harm people with anything : home knife, a car, anything but with a gun it is a lot more easy to harm a lot of people.
