Oh my god, Jon.
How can you be this blind?! Seriously! Can you not read?
A claim that has been made here over and over again is that increased guns = increased violence
The ONLY person claiming this is YOU.
The REST OF US are having a discussion about LETHALITY. (ie Guns are more lethal than knives, Automatic pistols are more lethal than muzzle loaders.)
NO ONE is trying to curtail violence in general - no ones been able to do it in the entire history of the world, why start now.
What we are saying, for the 9,000 time is this:
(Please use a dictionary if there are words you don't understand.)
A violent person with access to highly lethal weapons is going to do more damage than he would if he only had access to less lethal weapons.
You've been arguing against us for 300 posts now and have yet to address that issue.
Why do you think that Cho would have been just as deadly with a pointy stick as he was with double 9mm Glocks?
