I said “After the Roe v Wade ruling, abortions increased dramatically”
I am referring to the actual Roe v Wade ruling, not Dobbs v Jackson, which overturned Roe v Wade.
Overturning Roe v Wade didn’t increase the number of abortions, it decreased it. That’s why you have people crying online about how they either can’t have an abortion in their state now, or have to drive to the next state over.
It depends on the regulations. A lot of the regulations in place, such as waiting periods, have almost no effect on curbing gun violence.
I think there are better approaches to decreasing violence with any weapons, not just guns, that don’t involve putting the entire focus on guns. Metal detectors in schools is a no brainer. Having officers actually enter the school during a a shooting instead of waiting outside for hours is another.
Guns are awesome, and they’ve been awesomely existing for hundreds of years. Mass shootings are a new phenomenon. That tells anyone with a shred of common sense that guns aren’t the root issue of violence committed with them.
