Holy shit, was that just a reasoned synopsis that more gun control will have no more effect than it ever did before because most handguns used in violent crime are smuggled in from the US? And that focussing on mental health and social stability are much more important in reducing violence?

I'm having trouble believing my eyes.

It wasn't, although it almost sounds like one.

What works is to stop the illegal import of guns from the US. SHOCK
