In reply to Ralph. The problem is when the government itself supplies those guns. Depending on who you are this may sound far fetched but it's not even being hidden anymore it's just facts and no one cares.

In reply to .40 cal Booger. I love when people who can't understand an article go out of their way to prove the arguments ill yet end up proving it wrong.

In reply to Ralph. By any chance are you the same Ralph that was on TTAG a number of years back? The master of wisecracks with the 2 faces of tragedy and laughter as a gravitar?

In reply to Peter John Tripoli. There's still plenty of crimes committed using guns in the UK, they just don't report on it and fudge the numbers so they can pretend their gun-free island paradise has zero gun crime.

Has banning guns made the UK any safer?
They have been forced to offer knife amnesties to get those killer weapons off the street instead of looking at the immigrants that are responsible for the majority of killings.
The problem has never been about the availability of guns, but the subcultures that thinks nothing of violence.

In reply to JC.

Ludwig stil uses the term “gun violence” even in the title (maybe an editor supplied that title instead) so

. . . he’s still fixated on guns more than he is on violence. So he will continue to “think about (fill in the blank) violence all wrong” as long as he fills the blank with the instruments of violence.

"By using behavioral economics tools—many of which are proven, and low-cost—we can stop most of gun violence before it starts." These tools would likely reduce all violence, not just gun violence. That Ludwig still uses rhetorical devices such as gun violence suggests that he still won't let go of an academically unsound habit.
