He’s a solution looking for a problem. He’s decided guns are the problem not people. His whole “prove me wrong” stance is deflecting from his own burden of proving it’s the guns not the people. I’d rather just point and laugh.To go bang. I dont know why you wont acknowledge that I have said as much multiple times.
It's an inanimate object. They why of it doesnt impact what it actually does.
What every anti 2A poster keeps ignoring is that it wasn't long ago that anyone could order a semi-automatic rifle out of a catalog and have it delivered to your house. No BGCs, no permits just send the check.
It’s not really that high when you consider the population and other unique issues the US has. .001% of all the firearms in America are used for criminal purposes, and most of those are the same criminals using the same guns again and again.We have more guns per capita than the rest of the developed world, so “more guns” obviously isn’t working. What else do you suggest we do to reduce our high rate of gun violence?
I’m not arguing anything yet, I’m trying to create a productive dialogue.You want to go beyond the 2A with additional restrictions, correct? If not, why are you even arguing?
2. You are saying there is a problem without knowing the numbers. So in that regard yes, I would be a terrible problem solver because not everything thought to be a problem is one. Like the dumb Trump arguments for votes, you dont just get to declare an issue.
Violence is an issue, period. Limiting the discussion to guns avoids the likely cause of the problem. Or at least weighs the result before it even happens. Like you have done here. You have already determined guns are a problem without even establishing there is a problem.
australia hasn't seen a change in the rate of decrease of their violent crimes. gun crimes are down, but others have risen in its place. overall the rate is dropping, but it was dropping before the gun ban as well.Based on what?

you haven't been open to the dialogue anytime anything besides guns is brought up. or at least you always steer it back to guns.I’m not arguing anything yet, I’m trying to create a productive dialogue.
Where did I make a determination, other than the determination that facts are required to pinpoint problems and create solutions to said problems?
