Please please PLEASE: this question is made from a place of pure curiosity, with no political biases intended. I’m asking because restrictions and prohibitions puts a pressure on the market since the demand never ceases, and someone interested in supply for that demand will do it for massive profits - no matter what. Wouldn’t it be the case for any product, be it drugs, alcohol or guns?

    Problem is, the “good guys with guns” tend to leave their guns safely locked up at home, because being good guys they are responsible firearm owners.

      That too, but usually when I think of the sort that use such slogans I picture the ones who think they need 3 handguns on them to got to Walmart.

      That isn’t totally true, it’s just that we responsible guys with a gun keep it out of view and properly secured so that others are never aware of it. Ideally, nobody should know you’re carrying except for you.

      The recent Twin Falls, Idaho shooting is a pretty good example of a “good guy with a gun” who stopped a “bad guy with a gun”.

      It happens, it’s just rare.

      Sometimes. You should look up the stats on gun ownership to who has their conceal carry license ratio, and I think now 28 States offer constitutional carry too aka permitless carry.
