 That's New York Democratic Congressman Jamal Bowman arguing with Kentucky Republican Thomas Massey over how to stop school shootings like the one in Nashville that left three students and three adults dead. It's understandable that Tempors Flare and Voices rise in the aftermath of such horrific events. But faced with such situations, the urge to do something is nearly impossible to resist. But is Congressman Bowman right that more guns lead to more deaths? The short answer is no. Over the past few decades, the number of guns in America has increased massively, so much so that there are now more guns than people in the United States. Yet federal crime statistics say that firearm homicides dropped about 40% between 1993 and 2018. Are other crimes involving guns that decline with 71%?
