There have been plenty of studies on it. The bottom line is that those places
with restrictive gun laws are LESS safe than those who freely issue CCW
permits. And their crime rates keep getting worse, while the crime rate
declines in the others.
It's really simple. Violent criminals do not obtain their weapons legally, nor
are they ALLOWED to have weapons. So restrictive gun laws do not affect
them and merely keep guns out of the hands of the people that need them as a
deterrent/defense. |

*not to be taken seriously*
you could model hot air with buying extra move, flight (lighter than
air) and dependence on heat or other external source of energy in
addition to the trait for normal air (i.e. air at 18°C). (i do not mean
the meta trait body of air as this is supposed to be bought by a sapient
entity which normal air usually is not. But you can also design a
suitable background with powers in which air IS a sapient entity). >> Stay informed about: Size Modifier and Basic Move |
