I only have one question. How many laws does it take to stop a criminal from committing crimes? Gun controll laws only inhibit the good guys. I am a concealed carrry holder and if you take away my gun I can't save your ass!

My thought exactly. A criminal is someone who does NOT obey the law - by definition.
again youre ignoring the point, as a concealed carry holder you would of been useless in las vegas.
In Australia with strict gun laws, i dont need you to save my ass because no one is running around with guns.
i also feel like i should point out that's an oddly phrased question. and the logic is all wrong. Its like saying if murdering people wasnt a crime there would be less crime...
If gun control only inhibits the good guys then why is it so rare to hear about a concealed carry holder stopping mass shootings? im sure it happens but not often.
If one guy pulls out a gun to shoot people and then 20 other people pull out their guns to shoot him you end up with collateral damage, no one knows who is the bad guy cos everyone has guns and you run the risk of having law enforcement or someone else mistaking you for the shooter
We should also ignore the fact that Australia has a population of 24 million where as America has over 300 Million. Statically, there has to be a few more crazies running around America. Gun controll is not Ever, in any way, shape or form, going to make the bad guys turn over their guns, or make guns unobtainable. If the government came to my house with an order for me to turn over my guns, I would have no choice. Though I wouldn't be happy about it. My government knows I have guns and they are registered and under lock and key. Guns obtained illeagally are unregistered and mostly untraceable. In the eyes of a criminal, what's to lose? I truly wish there was peace in the world and no one wanted to kill anyone else. I wish there wasn't drug and gang violence. But hey, we can fix all these problems with more gun control. I never once said that I could have single handedly stopped the shooting in Las Vegas but if that guy was standing in front of me it would have been my last breath trying. I respect you for your opinions and I think you should know how these guns are being obtained before you preach gun control in a country in which you do not reside. Concealed carry holders don't brandish their weapons if the cops are there, that's how they are not mistaken for a bad guy.
then how do you explain that statistically america is responsible for approx 31% of the worlds mass shootings...
It might not make them unobtainable but like i said it makes them a hell of alot more expensive, the cost of an illegal gun here along with ammunition is stupidly high.
It doesn't matter how they are being obtained, gun control= less guns thats a fact. science has shown gun control works to reduce crime and mass shootings.
I respect your opinion too but i think before you knock gun control you need to try it.
how would you know if it works if youve never tried it and every country that has tried it has seen positive results...
