Yeah, Putin and his boys should have just come over here and voted in all 50 states.

No need for collusion.

Bamatool wants to make it nearly impossible to legally procure a firearm.

Then it's a mistake in both cases.

because we have no readily identifiable deficiencies in murder laws when compared to other comparable countries.
"other countries" has nothing to do with this. Nice try obfuscating, though.

Yet again, you don't understand the studies and have no interest in researching the topic
Wrong on both counts. For example, I know that magazine sales are an incredibly silly proxy for ownership rates.

you pretend that they don't make sense to more than just you.
They make perfect sense to me. I know exactly what they are, why they exist, and what they show. It's totally clear. I fully realize they are propaganda pieces for the gullible.

I just joined in but so far the dumbass appears to be YOU.

You look up stuff to support your argument but have no idea how to use fault tree analysis.

HINT: #1. Gather ALL the pertinent information on a subject. #2. Go through every one of those factors to determine which ones have some effect on the subject. #3. Work your way through ALL of them to determine which is the guilty party.

Thinking with your heart instead of your head only makes you THINK you are winning.

Again, your lack of knowledge here and inability to do basic research of facts is your problem. Reality is clear.



Correlation does not equal causation. Your graph, much like all of your arguments, is without context and utter bullshite.

Try again.

Population size and SES.

Austin has a median income of around $57k.
San Antonio has a median income of around $49k.
Houston has a median income of around $40k.
You've clearly not spent much time in either place.

Population size and SES.


quote:

Crime is a combination of factors, obviously. O

seems like TX would be better off ignoring gun factors and focusing on "Austin" factors to improve the violence in Houston

quote:

One of those factors is SES, another is ease of access to firearms.

ease of access to firearms is the exact same in both Austin and Houston

why focus on that when it doesn't seem to be doing much? why not focus on the other factors and avoid eroding constitutional rights?

quote:

Only if the demographics are similar across those cities.

HEY NOW, *i* am teh one who brought up demographics in this dicusssion

wouldn't you agree that demographics between the US and, say, Western Europe, should also be a major factor in comparing the 2?

Is that what you think DUI laws and minimum drinking age laws and manufacturer safety requirements are?

The only law that prevents anyone from purchasing alcohol or tobacco is requiring then to have an ID card.

DUI laws don't stop people from drinking. And manufacturer safety requirements don't save lives. Know what else has manufacturer safety requirements? Guns.

It wasn't dropped, we moved on after you lost the point that there had never been a successful buyback program.

i never moved on

i asked for an example of a buyback without a ban

i'm still waiting on that example

here is the post:



notice i specifically excluded situations with bans to go along with the buyback

What's the suicide rate of Japan? Nordic countries?

What's the gun ownership of Japan? Nordic countries?

If access to guns is a large indicator of whether someone will take their own life or not, please explain Japan and nordic countries.

Not always. Guns are the most sure way to commit suicide, and we see a large portion of people with a failed suicide attempt not successfully complete the act later. So having a gun increases your chances of success, and thus death.

Weird jump. No guns would mean fewer suicides, especially in states that currently have a high suicide rate by gun.
