Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. Guns are just the weapon of choice. Getting rid of it won’t stop people from dying needlessly. We have mental illness problems that we’ve never experienced before. Something has to be done. Get rid of guns sure but that won’t fix anything.
If they decided to use a knife in that moment that would be stupid. If they decided to get up close and personal a knife would be a possibility. Either way the problem is that there’s someone with enough hate in their soul to want to kill someone. Doesn’t matter if it’s with a gun knife or rock. It’s a mental health problem either way
You are correct right up until the last two sentences. People will still die, people will still get murdered. In the US, according to the census from last year, 38% of all gun deaths were murders, and 79% of all murders were with guns. Banning guns will not get rid of murder, but it will get rid of upwards of 80%. I call that a good reduction. Why don’t you?
i don't want the government to ban guns. i want it to more strongly regulate which guns can be bought and by whom; and when and where they can take them. i also want it to provide free healthcare so people can be treated and stabilized before they engage in any violence. similar for housing and basic needs like food, water, hygiene and clothes. none of these things can solve the issue alone
I can continue if you want. My “commando analysis of stabbings” has factual basis from the 90s when australia imposed their gun reform. I would love to see any articles disputing gun reform limiting deaths along with any articles not saying one of the largest threats to modern America is alt right groups
The gun enabled Charlie’s death, especially in the exact manner in which he was assassinated. The presence of guns extremely IMPROVED the chances of Charlie being killed. This is an inescapable fact, and denying it is moronic. It only serves the purpose of defending your own personal ownership of guns because you like the feeling of individual power that it gives you. Childish af
I’m not fine with killing. You’re such a disingenuous piece of shit that you have to construct a straw man, and I find it difficult to believe that you’re so stupid that you can’t comprehend my extremely simple argument. No, killing is not ok, and nothing I said even REMOTELY implied that it was. In fact, I advocate for banning or heavily restricting guns, which will REDUCE killing.
I have understood everything you have said. It makes no sense for the people who commit shootings to use sarin gas or ieds since most shootings are either A: spur of the moment and unplanned or B: planned with a singular target in mind. Keep tapping about Sarin gas which has never been used in the US against civilians and IEDs which have been restricted to mostly terror organizations over the past 2 decades
