>There is no evidence that firearms limits make the public safer. There is no evidence that banning straight-pull, button-release or lever-release firearms will make public safer.
I don’t know much about gun, but I do know that we only have to look across the Pacific to the USA to see some pretty telling evidence. Saying shit like “there is no evidence” is purposefully disingenuous and is designed to make people not look any further into it.
