(3,343 posts)you can EASILY check gun violence vs strict gun laws and see that's not true.
You can also see - if you bothered to check - that the majority of gun violence isn't criminals killing each other at all.

Europeans and Canadians do have lower crime rates, but some European countries have had gun control for close to 100 years, like Germany. Others still have had it since before handguns were relatively affordable. Others still have strong cultural disgust with guns, like France. Over time those became strict gun control policies. No country in Europe had a lot of guns and low gun crime. Then strict gun control and a lot of gun crime. That's not a thing.
