I didn’t say reducing the number of guns would “solve” police violence, I said it would reduce it. And since you are the one who saw fit to bring up Trayvon Martin’s murder I would point out that Martin would be alive today if private citizen George Zimmerman hadn’t been carrying a gun.
Yes, I believe that. In no small part because there is no correlation between “higher rates of gun ownership” and “lower rates of police abuse.” If anything the opposite is true. When you suggest that disarming the public would create an even more violent police state, you ignore the precedent set by literally every one of our peer nations.
