More guns equals more safety
More assault guns equals more safety
More grenade launchers equals more safety
More flamethrowers equals more safety
More nuclear bombs equals more safety.
Where does this logic break down?
Is it possible for any Country to have “Reasonable” Gun Laws? What would they be?

Funny video! That said, I'm willing to bet that the anti-gun Colbert is surrounded by security that is armed to the teeth like a lot of other anti-gun celebs are.

If you like that one, you'll love this one that reminds people that Trump 3 years ago wanted gun control. Skip the last half of the clip, its just unrelated monologue.

The only reason I legally carry a firearm is because a cop, at least these days, is just too damned heavy!

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. I’m a supporter of the 2nd amendment. Law abiding citizens should be able to have guns. Additionally, in some states, you need a gun because of dangerous wildlife.

Where does this logic break down?Actually there is NO logic in the world that we live in.
The reality is that we have to face the facts.
2019 Was one of the most Peaceful years. 2020 probably tripled in crime cause of all the riots.
In 2019, there were an estimated 1,203,808 violent crimes in the USA.
The 2019 statistics show the estimated rate of violent crime was 366.7 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants,
YET---The arrest rate for violent crime was 156.3 per 100,000 inhabitants,So about half of those violent never got caught and are still out there committing VIOLENT crimes, like murder, rape, kidnapping, child abduction, etc.
In 2019, 13,247 law enforcement agencies reported their staffing levels to the FBI. These agencies reported that, as of October 31, 2019, they collectively employed 697,195 sworn officers to protect the INNOCENT, in a population of 328,000,000 million which is less than 1 per 1000.

On top of that;
19.1% of U.S. adults experienced mental illness in 2018 (47.6 million people). This represents 1 in 5 adults. 4.6% of U.S. adults experienced serious mental illness in 2018 (11.4 million people).
About twice that number never report their mental illness until the shots start firing.
In El Paso TX, a small city near the border of Mexico, where most citizens are gun averse, a shooter walked in to a Walmart store and killed 23 mothers, children, grandmothers, and some men, and injured seriously another 23. No one had a gun. This is Beto (I gonna take your guns away) O rouke's home town.
In another Texas City where everyone carries a gun, a well armed shooter walked into a church and started shooting a saw-off shotgun at the members. Within 6 seconds about 30 church attendees pulled their guns and one older man shot him in the head ending the terror. In 6 seconds this terrorist killed two men. Imagine if no one had a gun to stop this monster.

So it's not a matter of being logical or reasonable.
It's facing the reality of the world we live in and the fact that there is No God that protects the innocent, or the children, or the families. There is no paradise earth that is coming where the wicked will be removed.
We have been given only ONE life, and our children and family also have one life. Once it's taken away, it is gone forever. So it's up to each of us to do whatever it takes to protect our life and the lives of our family because we can't shove that responsibility to anyone else---including the policemen.
They take away our guns, then we and our families are the mercy of Criminals WITH GUNS.

Imagine if no one had a gun to stop this monster(with a gun).
How did this monster get a gun? Could we have prevented it? ASK theses important questions, don't just insist it was inevitable like some fatalist doomsayer.

No guns, nobody gets shot. But there are guns. Do you think the mafias cannot smuggle guns? How about pointy knives, cars that go over 100, booze, on and on.
