No time to quote you from here, but your premise is that more guns make it safer.
Then you went on to backup that argument by giving Florida as example, because you can have concealed weapons. You claimed that 6% had permits, resulting in a lower crime rate.
I could have bough that.
But when you come down to one percent, that is negligeable, so not a factor for the " general " population.
Now, who have these permits in Florida...
I would
speculate that small shop owners, 7-11 type of late hour stores, gas stations, etc....
So yes, a thief will now think twice to hit such a convenience store, afraid that he could get shot... explaining the reduction of gun crimes.
But more guns in the population will not stop randam unjustified shooting as this one; it will only increase the possibilities of happening.
Just an opinion.
