obviously, interfering with the logistics of committing a crime is going to make it harder to successfully commit that crime, and would likely deter at least some people from even attempting it.

that's literally the entire point of security. any security expert will tell you that you can't prevent a truly determined person from committing a crime. but you can make it difficult or deter them by making it clear there will be consequences.


right-wing rhetoric is chock full of simplistic, idiotic phrases that don't stand up to logic, common sense, or evidence.

but that doesn't stop them from repeated them ad nauseum, and it doesn't stop the media from amplifying their b.s.
