It has been demonstrated over and over again that when an area in the United States limits gun ownership, gun crimes go up. In Chicago, gun laws are strictest, yet gun deaths are the highest. How can this be? Perhaps criminals are less likely to play by the rules, leaving law-abiding citizens defenseless.
This is common sense and backed by data, yet leftist mainstream media continues to push out the false narrative that we need fewer guns on the “streets.” They like to use the phrase “guns on the streets” because it instills fear that gun ownership means bad guys walking around armed and ready to do harm. Intuitively Americans know there are responsible gun owners who carry, but instead of believing the reality that if more law-abiding citizens carried, fewer criminals would be willing to take their chances, the false narrative has them pushing in the wrong direction.
The numbers are troubling:
Robert Farago at The Truth About Guns breaks down why this is a bad sign:
Guess How Many Americans Think America Would be Safer Without Civilian Gun Ownership
Still, the idea that 41 percent of Americans want to eliminate or reduce civilian gun ownership is deeply worrying. As is the idea that only 21 percent of Americans see guns as increasing public safety.
Then again, nearly the same amount of respondents (38 percent) reckon civilian gun ownership doesn’t have any impact on public safety.
That’s where the NRA, SAF, NAGR, GOA and The People of the Gun generally need to focus their pro-gun rights efforts: on the fence straddlers who aren’t antagonistic to civilian gun ownership, but don’t see a societal benefit. Yes?
My Take
I’ve been saved by a “good guy with a gun” and now I’m ready to be that guy if the need ever arises. I once thought it would be better if fewer people carried in public places, but I now see the error of my ways. Keep in mind that a lot of people who support gun ownership rights aren’t in favor of more guns. I was one of them. Now, I realize we need gun ownership, concealed carry, and open carry numbers to rise.
When violence breaks out, I don’t want to be the guy waiting 5-20 minutes for the police to arrive. A lot can happen in the interim as most Americans are all-too aware. It’s imperative that we start shifting the narrative back towards favoring gun ownership and carrying rights. Guns may scare people, but they should realize it’s better when good guys are carrying then when it’s just something the bad guys do. We don’t want America to turn into Chicago.

The problem is the progressive narrative constantly being pushed about guns by our media and education system. They want us to embrace gun control. When we disarm the civilians, we shall be safe, and the government will protect us. So they say.
Say that long enough and people will believe it. Just remember that most tyrants were successful in disarming the innocent before they make the kill. Then again Australia has yet to embrace full-blown tyranny, although they will get there. Right now is about getting same-sex marriage legal.
