Anyone wanna guess number of accidental deaths avoided by that ban?

Or additional deaths if it had unforeseen consequences!

We don't have to guess! There's apparently been 10 reported deaths worldwide since they were introduced 51 years ago.

For context, 12 children die each day from gun violence in the US alone.

But you can’t ban guns in US, because “mah freedom!”
