In Disarmed: The Consequences of Gun Control in the West, I confront a pressing, complex issue that Western societies have grappled with for decades: the balance between public safety and individual rights to self-defence. This book is not an argument for unrestricted gun access but rather an examination of whether current gun control measures have achieved their intended outcomes or have, in fact, left citizens more vulnerable to the very threats they were supposed to alleviate. Through a rigorous exploration of gun control’s practical effects across the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom, I seek to illuminate the unintended consequences of a policy path that has disarmed lawful citizens while enabling criminal networks to thrive in ways that policy-makers may never have foreseen.The central argument of Disarmed is straightforward yet controversial: gun control policies, as they currently stand, often fail to prevent criminals from obtaining firearms and weapons while stripping ordinary citizens of their means of self-defence. This failure is particularly stark in light of the ever-growing networks of organised crime fuelled by open-border policies, mass illegal migration, and the West’s battle with an increasingly entrenched drug trade. These factors converge to create a perfect storm that gun control policies alone are ill-equipped to handle. Law-abiding citizens, unable to defend themselves, find themselves increasingly reliant on police forces that, far from being empowered, are instead underfunded and restricted by new political directives.In a world where gun violence and organised crime escalate hand-in-hand, the critical question I address is this: can disarming a nation truly make it safer, or does it merely turn law-abiding citizens into easy targets, incapable of safeguarding themselves, their families, and their communities?
