"El Salvador has actually loosened gun laws a bit in the same time frame where they brought down crime. When they had the worst murder rate in the west they actually had total gun control laws. They didnt work. Theyre still a bit too strict but Bukele will change that too over time. Now more lawful citizens own guns there. Now on criminals not following laws yeah they dont which is why consequences have to equate to maximum punishment. Its the only thing that stops them in sizable numbers"
