What are examples of gun control failures mentioned in the video?

The video cites the tragic deaths of Carol Bowne in New Jersey, who was killed while waiting for a permit to defend herself, and Katie Nixon in Virginia, murdered in a 'No Guns' government building, as examples of how gun control can fail.

Does disarming citizens increase public safety according to Gun Owners of America?

No, Gun Owners of America argues that disarming peaceful Americans does not increase safety. Instead, it puts lives at risk by removing the means of self-defense for law-abiding individuals.
