If the facts show that less children die of gun accidents than swimming pools accidents would that matter?
If the facts showed that more guns results in less crime, would that matter?
Probably not because it isn't really about logic usually. (I don't mean that as a criticism, it's only human. If you
proved I'd be safer if you repealed parts of the Bill of Rights I'd still be against it.)
Mix in emotion, some politics and the law of unintended )consequences and you get unexpected results like:
- More deaths (children and adult) after passing the "child proof cap" law for medicines. Adults were lax because they thought the bottles were safe.
- More child deaths due mandating air bags.
