The US could be such a nice place...

Not really. You'd still have way too many stupid and hateful people.

They'd just be slightly less dangerous stupid and hateful people.

(And yes, I do mean slightly, but am not going to go more into details of the other methodology with much higher body counts that the hatred of small minded folks have taken over the years.)

I'd gladly take an unarmed stupid, hateful people over this

Apologist bullshit. There is no reality where this man threatens an Uber driver with a truck bomb. Even when talking about domestic terrorism, bombs are far more effort with far more risk, which is why they're not already used.

Oh man, Florida Man armed with grenades would make same amazing headlines.

They'd just be slightly less dangerous stupid and hateful people.

Which is the point?

Stupid and hateful people just not having guns does not "a nice place" make.

An asshole will always be an asshole but an asshole without an AR-15 is less dangerous to everyone else. I stand by what I said.

I dunno, I reckon they'd be a lot quieter if there's an actual danger of physical harm to themselves.

Guns make people too eager to do crazy shit. You're not going to try to force somebody out of their car with a flick-knife.

In countries that don't just give guns to anyone who can write their name, carjacking is functionally unheard of. It's just not a crime that happens. If the criminal doesn't have a gun, you can just drive away.
