Does Nun Control Work?

[Mister Agenda]

According to studies (that I liked a source for in the Red Flag thread), gun control aimed at restricting what kind of guns and ammo are available has no statistically significant effect on murders committed with guns. However, measures that restrict who can have guns have statistically significant impacts (reducing) on gun murder rates. Specifically, states with both enforced universal background checks and Red Flag (gun confiscation based on risk) have seen significant reductions in gun-related murders and gun-assisted suicides. There is some shift to other means, but the overall rates are still lower. And the majority of Americans support universal background checks, that could probably even pass the Senate if we had a Bush or Romney instead of a Trump.

What 2nd amendment absolutists don't see is that it's not a slipper slope. The more the murder/suicide rate goes down, the less support there will be for additional measures. General responsible firearm ownership will never be outlawed unless enough American support it that they could amend the constitution anyway. Laws similar to what Canada has are the post-apocalyptic America is doomed worse case scenario after another 50-100 years inching in the direction; and gun ownership is pretty common in Canada.

Edit: Oh, sorry, NUN control. My cataracts have made me VERY near-sighted.
