Imagine putting together a poll and needing to lump together basically every common type of death just to be able to say "guns" are the third leading cause of death in children.
Well if one considers not doing a crime because they're likely to be blown away before actually committing it... that's what we like to call a "deterrent".
There's a reason why most of these things happen in "GUN FREE" zones.
A gun debate again. Yaaaay.
That's twice today someone has hit a Mert touchstone, namely boasting about wealth he doesn't have and gun free zones being the devil. If someone volunteers to call everyone posting in the relationship thread a 'beta cuck bitch' once a fortnight we can probably do away with him.
I didn't say gun free zones are the devil. I said a crazy person who wants to hurt a lot of people is going to be more likely to go to a place where there supposedly aren't any guns to do their crazy person business.
Not really a difficult concept. People tend to go away from things that are a danger to them.
Let's see if you can take this to its logical conclusion.
By all means, genius, after you.
I love gun conversations. Talking to an American about gun laws and how they should be changed is the same as talking to a catholic about religion being fucking stupid. Nothing changes but people still moan when they get raped or shot.
All of that is nice in conversation but it's wildly impractical.
You're not gonna take all the guns away from the criminals. The only people who would turn their guns in are law-abiding citizens. In turn, making those people less safe.
If you want to find a gun, you'll find a gun regardless of how the laws change. These conversations are pointless.
It's not quite like that. Someone once said to me when I was single "if you ever want to text your ex, have a wank first". I think a similar outlook can be applied here. In England, if you want to fucking shoot someone in the face, it would take a long fucking time to get a gun and shit togethor to be able to do that. In fact, anyone who gets shot in England, probably deserved it. However, in America, you wona shoot someone in the face, it's so fucking simple.
In some states you can just pop to a local supermarket and buy a semi automatic. Whilst your shooting that one guy in the face, might as well shoot some others i suppose. I mean I have two hundred rounds for the same price as my monthly wage. Won't need another monthly wage after I've shot all these faces. Etc etx
I mean, i am far from intelligent and if I can see that gun laws in America are dumb then god help you all (no pun intended).
You're 100% right.
If they can't use a gun, they'll just create a makeshift bomb and detonate it after an Ariana Grande concert.
If they can't use a gun, they'll just drive a truck into a crowd of people.
There is no easy solution.
7212 deaths in 2017 and counting.
Not that I understand the original stat contrivance point. Was it that guns should be higher or lower than the other categories?
Solution:
1. Guns for coke program
2. People hand over guns, you hand over coke.
3. You hold up them for the coke.
4. Guns and drugs solved.
5. SELL BOTH FOR MAD PROFIT.
John covered the contrivance pretty well with one exception. Not only did they separate out unintentional gun deaths from all unintentional deaths but my understanding is that they also grouped in gun deaths from gang violence.
But all American gun conversations are overblown so why ruin their fun.
Of course there isn't an easy solution. That's not the point, an obvious solution to reducing murders would be to ban guns. Surely reducing murders is a good thing and of course banning them would do that. Proper fucking simple you stupid American cunt.
I love gun conversations.
The problem with the US is that there are already so many guns floating around that any sort of ban wouldn't achieve much.
Well in that article they seem to have gone "guns are third, literally every other type of accident is second if you combine them all."
Opposite of here - even hardened criminals and terrorists often just can't get hold of them for love nor money.
The criminals that do have them have usually 'drilled out' a replica that has a 50% chance of going bang in their face.
Not instantly, but then again this logic isn't used when discussing any other type of law.
Well, there's already loads of drugs, might as well decriminalize them
In fairness I have heard that exact opinion voiced.
It's an example fuckface, apply the same logic to anything else and the argument against gun restrictions looks ridiculous.
I'm not allowed to obtain gun licence where I live.
Well we've had 2 of those incidents in a year, and prior to that nothing for a very long time.
You guys have biweekly mass shootings.
Sensible measures for a safer Australia.
I do agree with it though.
What part of the people committing murders aren't just going to turn in their guns is so fucking difficult for you, you remedial English dipshit?
Talking dumb shit because you live in la-la land where everything is simple and everyone just says "Hey sure, I totally agree with this gun ban! I'm deffo going to give you my gun now!"
We should ban drugs next! That'll get them off the streets!
Bruh, you're coming off as a giant, incoherently angry dumbass. Quit while you're ahead.
"biweekly" yet we haven't had a mass shooting for a year. Which isn't to say that's something to be proud of but let's not overstate the problem.
Unless of course you, unlike every politician, wants to acknowledge the problems in Chicago + gun violence. Mind you, those guys are deffo gonna just stop being gang-banging dickheads because some rich politician drafts legislation saying "turn in your guns, please!" I sure hope we get on that soon.
A guy opened fire at sitting congress members last week...
There's actually been 14 mass shootings in the last 10 days. Only 2 in Chicago (although I guess you can throw the St. Louis one in if you really want)
Because "let's ban the guns! that'll show those criminals and crazy people!" isn't the most incoherently dumbassed "solution" there is.
Constantly just people providing extraordinarily simplistic and even more unrealistic solutions coupled with a hilariously pretentious tone but I'm the bad guy for pointing this out.
Depends how you define ' mass'. Some guy went mental in Orlando a few weeks ago at his old workplace, didn't he?
I guess we have a different interpretation as to what constitutes a "mass" shootings.A guy opened fire at sitting congress members last week...
There's actually been 14 mass shootings in the last 10 days.
But again, let's nevermind Chicago where gun violence is actually the problem.
If you're not counting 4 or more people shot at once as a mass shooting. You have a mass shooting issue.
I'm on the same website and you literally have to go 17 pages and one full year to find an incident where more than 6 people were injured.
"Mass" shootings every day guysm! It's the wild wild west out here! Ban all the guns! Ban all the trucks! Ban all the nails/bits of plastic!
Well the FBI apparently says four or more deaths. There's two on Phonics' screenshot alone and the one I cited had six which was on 6th June.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Orlando_shooting
2 people were killed and 5 were injured on June 9th in Fort Worth, Texas. You can't read.
Again, how do you get the criminals/crazy people who want to use guns for gun violence to turn in their guns?
I'm not even talking about law-abiding citizens at this point, cause that's an entire lol in itself.
How, in this hilarious utopia, do you suppose this would practically be done?
How are you defining 'mass shooting' to come up with that? The official definition is four or more people shot in a single incident, and that happens about three times a day.
If you'd like to move the goalposts some more we can move from whether it should be done onto how it's done once you calm down.
I've just clicked on to that site and the very first incident listed has seven injuries.
It's gang violence, not "some crazy person grabbing a gun and shooting a bunch of innocent people for no reason" violence.
If you can't differentiate between the two maybe it's you who has the problem.
I can assure you that the solution to one (gang violence) is not the same as the other (gun violence).
A couple dudes shooting at each other over "gang turf" isn't something that's even remotely in the realm of "Let's put a bunch of nails and bits into a homemade explosive device and kill a bunch of little kids leaving a concert".
Lmfaoooooo that was the entire point from the beginning. Get fucked.
So let's say "killed", then. Again, the point is, how do you enact this "so easy! so simple!" solution to fix our country?
Come on lads let's hear it.
Everybody's a genius until it's time to actually employ these so simple solutions. Fancy how that works.
