Ubiq -“If more guns deters crime, and capital punishment deters crime. The US should have one of the lowest crime rates of the Western World!? Yet it isnt so.”
It’s very simple in my mind. Why does more guns deter crime? And why does strict capital punishment, like Saudi Arabia has, deter crime?
For the same reason! If the perp thinks he’ll/she’ll be killed because of their action – it’s a big deterrent!
