What are your thoughts on the saying, "The more of a thing exists in a space, the more likely you'll interact with it"?

If your logic was sound, you'd interact with more guns than you would people

Not sure what that means.

Do you disagree that when there are more of a thing in a society, you're more likely to encounter it?

If you think that that is a good argument against gun control, do you similarly think that “Taking away nuclear weapons will only leave criminals with nuclear weapons” is a good argument against prohibiting individuals from owning nuclear weapons?

Edit: the amount of downvotes this has gotten compared to the complete lack of serious responses is quite telling.

Guns are magical. No laws can affect them, nothing can take them away, they're sent by Jesus.

I'll give you my nuclear bomb when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.
