Nobody can tell the future, but stats show that limiting access to automatic and semiautomatic “assault” style guns substantially decreases gun violence and it happens fast. In Australia they did their buy backs and severely limited access to many types of guns- firearm suicides and murders PLUMMETED by well over 1/2 on both stats within just the first few years. Since then, their firearm deaths have stayed low and they have way fewer (if any that would qualify since the buyback in 96?) “mass shootings” than the US.
The stats are very clear on this broadly speaking- other than third-world/ war-torn nations and hot beds of drug war violence like Mexico and Colombia- there is a very clear correlation between the amount of guns a country has relative to their population and the number of firearm murders they experience relative to their population. It is common sense, proven and born out through studying easy to find data- broadly speaking: less guns (ESPECIALLY less automatic/semiautomatic assault style weapons)= less gun violence. This is not a political opinion, it should not be a partisan issue it is just the way things work.
Want a gun for hunting? Sure. You do not need an AR-15 unless you are hunting people who also have a gun.
