Does reading a lot of Wikipedia give people a wrong idea how science works?

One a month? Nah. We have them on days ending in Y. ALL days ending in Y. Some days, more than one.

@FlatAssembler, you have a very naive view of guns, their dangers, and their worth as a deterrent,

It is naive to think that such a complicated problems as gun violence has such a simple solution as gun prohibition. And it is absurd to think that people giving up the most effective way of defending themselves is somehow going to end mass shootings.

(Bold mine)

The real world says differently. Countries with the strictest gun prohibitions (Singapore, China, Japan, South Korea, etc) also have the lowest rates of gun violence. This is NOT a coincidence.

Gun restrictions won't 'end mass shootings', but will reduce overall gun violence.
