Your situation is hypothetical so LOL.
Another gun could've hurt more people. They're designed to hurt people so it's more likely that it would hurt people instead of protect them.
Also, I agree with Sarah. Gun control is useful. In my city they started some gun control policy and murders/crime have gone down by a lot.
Oh, and alcohol... restrictions on alcohol have also helped us prevent crimes. You can't buy it after 10pm in certain places where it's cheaper, you can consume all you want whenever you want.
From another region in my country who passed gun control laws:
Quote:Según la Policía Nacional, el número de muertes violentas en algunas partes de Antioquia disminuyó en más del 8% mientras duró la restricción a finales de 2011.According to National Police, the number of violent deaths in some regions of Antioquia diminished by 18% while the restriction lasted until the end of 2011.
Lowest crime rates in Bogota in over 40 years
Gun control policy helps prevent murders, 17% lower in just three months. 63 cases less than same period last year
We've extended this policy for another 3 months because it's useful.
