Owning and carrying a gun would not have saved the majority of victims who get shot.

As history has shown, if everyone had a gun that shoots nukes no one would shoot their gun that shoots nukes.

I'm pretty sure this theory wouldn't work if you brought it down to an individual level.

It's also been steadily dropping for years, while gun sales have gone through the roof.


It has been dropping worldwide. Ours is still abnormally high compared to developed countries though.

But doesn't America disqualify itself from having an opinion on research and comparative study of gun violence being used in the debate because they banned it?

Well hey when the data does not say what you want it to just ban the data. The same thing they are trying to do with climate change.

Especially because the majority of victims are the same person as the perpetrator.

I figured someone would make that point. I was more alluding to the seemingly widespread fantasy that you are going to have time for a movie style shootout with your attacker.

There is no ban on gun violence data collection. The FBI and CDC publish numbers every year. The ban is on using federal money to fund partisan research.

What the data shows conflicts with my opinion therefore it is partisan. Nice.

So widely increased healthcare and a widely increased social safety net are the solution.


Two things about as likely to happen as banning guns. Nice.

Other things can kill people, so like, why have any laws at all man?

The anti-gun side has been getting poo poo on for the past decade. Their debate is basically just ineffective bitching and ad hominem at this point. They're a bunch of crybabies who refuse to take responsibility for their own safety or actions, and would prefer to depend on some vague authority figure to do it for them. They just want to punch a fat white redneck strawman and hug each other afterwards.


This is funny because any time a legitimate point is brought up by either side it's met with ad hominem attacks red herrings and strawman arguments.

I have never actually shot a strawman. I wonder if you could light one on fire with some tracers.

Maybe these anti-gun posters secretly get off to the idea of being victimized?


No most of them probably don't go through their day thinking about being victimised at all. Whether you think that's a good thing or naive is open to interpretation.
