While there is some utility aded by this for some of the recipients, can you seriously tell me that a positive impact would be ubiquitous?
The data often suggests that gun related incidents increase and are correlated to density of guns. By adding more, you're kindling the fire.
Bigger cloud, more rain.
Gini coefficient (aka income inequality) is far more closely correlated to gun violence than gun ownership is. Pushing for more/stonger unions, socializing healthcare, building walkable cities, and spending more on education would do far more to reduce gun violence while improving people's lives dramatically
So the homeless are the absolute last group that should get guns
