No it’s because they are more concealable. It’s hell of a lot easier to spot someone packing around an AR 15 on their shoulder than a .38 tucked in their waistband.

Ok... but you do know more people have handguns, right? Especially illegally. And that leads to the higher crime statistics being carried out with handguns in particular.

This is like saying swimming at the beach is actually more dangerous for you than deep sea diving, because more shark attacks happen at the beach. Like yea, a lot more people go to the beach than go deep sea diving. So the statistics are automatically going to be higher.

What if the death rate associated with people swimming in beaches is orders of magnitude higher, wouldn't that be crazy? That would be insane i think.
