Still deliberately missing the point. Other countries with stronger gun control still have high suicide rates.
You are concerned with a narrow viewpoint of only your opinion while ignoring the greater motivators in suicide and its prevention.
Frankly, you are using suicide as a tool to get to your political goal of gun control, which is pretty disgusting.
You said more guns equal more gun murder. Did you provide anything other than numbers? No you didn't. You simply had figures that even counted suicide.It is not being belittled because it is a spread sheet. It is being belittled because it is irrelevant until a connection can be made between rising guns numbers and falling crime. So far no connection and no real evidence crime is decreasing.
My position on the assholes who took to the streets two years ago, across the country is likely far more unforgiving than your.Just stop the 50 liberal riots!
Why would we not count all the slaughter?You said more guns equal more gun murder. Did you provide anything other than numbers? No you didn't. You simply had figures that even counted suicide.
Now you are given evidence of many millions more guns entering circulation and gun murder goes down. Simply not possible for that to happen AND you be right. Pretty sad you are unable to comprehend this! Pathetic actually.

Poverty is the root cause of most crime, including violent crime.
If on there was a way to convince the poors to get themselves out of poverty they wouldn't have to get guns to commit crimes.
We give them ALOT of money here in America to sit around and be poor on. Maybe if we didn't treat the poor people so well here they'd get off the couch and get a job instead of crime.
The people who are hurt most by poor-people gun crime are the honest law-abiding gun owners in America. If the poor people in the ghettos weren't so busy shooting each other over drug deals we wouldn't hear as much complaint from the Left about "too many guns".
Guns do not motivate suicide. You are using suicides to fuel your antipathy to firearms to push for more gun control.Still unable to comprehend the written word huh ?
I said in post#4635:
"Guns don't make people suicidal...but the absence of guns does would make difference in two ways"
Nope, I said that guns don't make people suicidal. But when people ***DO*** decide to commit suicides, the presence of guns increases the proportion of suicide attempts that are successful.
Try again.
Nope, what's disgusting is your ambivalence towards people attempting suicide
They deserve a lot more attention and sympathy than gun lovers like you are willing to give them, all so you can deny that your guns are not a problem
It's both pathetic as well as repugnant
In this instance, please don't even attempt to try again.
You carry automobile insurance? Expecting a collision? Or are you being prudent and cautious?One day the scary monster will rise from under the bed as well. Another scary story to make me feel; like I need a gun because america is a scary place.
Is there any other argument you can make that does not require you to wear brown pants.
Shoot 'em up cowboy.Just stop the 50 liberal riots!

Don't need scary stories for you to recognize the need for car insurance do you? I have plenty of them if you do BTW.
You probably don't need the stories of people being bankrupt by medical bills for not having health insurance to know you should have it.
Yet I can give you story upon story of people like you being robbed, raped, brutally beaten, and even murdered and you think it's a freaking joke. You think it's propaganda.
29,000 collisions and 219 fatalities in car wrecks in Hillsborough county 2019.
There were 3600 violent crimes and 66 murders in 2019 in Hillsborough county.
You would never question someone carrying insurance would you? Yet in a mere 10 years you have a better chance of being murdered or attacked than being killed or involved in a wreck in a years worth of driving.
Only a fool would make fun of folks who have decided to carry insurance for crime AKA a gun. When karma calls remember us. We will of course be screaming we told you so.
Not for the weapons issued by the military"Swiss citizens - for example hunters, or those who shoot as a sport - can get a permit to buy guns and ammunition, unless they have a criminal record, or police deem them unsuitable on psychiatric or security grounds."
They have ammo. Stop the story telling.
You want people in America to have to get a permit to buy ammo??????"Swiss citizens - for example hunters, or those who shoot as a sport - can get a permit to buy guns and ammunition, unless they have a criminal record, or police deem them unsuitable on psychiatric or security grounds."
They have ammo. Stop the story telling.
Got any ideas ?
The Democrat party have a few policies they want to try, but the Republicans haven't had any policies to redistribute wealth since the flawed "Trickle Down Economics" in the '80's.
Yeah, let's cut their income, that'll work !!!
So the ones hurt the most by gun crime are the "honest law-abiding gun owners", yet the poor are so busy "shooting each other"
I've already pointed out that with an increase of 270 million guns from 1986 to 2019 that:Why would we not count all the slaughter?
Why do you only want to count one kind of gun slaughter?
You are transparent.
It is impossible to determine the number of gun owners.From 1985 to 2018 the number of of gun owners has went down from 30.5% to 21.9%. The number of households reporting guns in the home also went down from 44.2% to 334.3%. View attachment 67366985

Gun ownership in the U.S. 1972-2021
Published by Statista Research Department, Dec 1, 2021
The share of American households owning at least one firearm has remained relatively steady since 1972, hovering between 37 percent and 47 percent. In 2021, about 42 percent of U.S. households had at least one gun in their possession.
You have to give Trickle Down some time! We've just been getting to the point where, if we give the job creators a BIT more leverage and money they will break through and provide alot of the jobs that America needs.
Poor people do NOT make jobs.
Sometimes tough love is the only answer.
Poor people do NOT make jobs.
The poor apparently want that. The honest law-abiding gun owners do NOT.
Did you care about the number of households having guns when you made the initial statement? Did you say more households with guns equals more gun murder? NO YOU DIDN'T.Not a goal post move, just pointing out the stats which prove there are fewer gun owning households these days which begs the question where did all those extra guns go? Do you know where all those extra manufactured guns went? I know!
As less guns were added did murder go down?
Bottom line is you've got no intelligent claim, argument, or line of reasoning to disprove the Harvard research.
"Before some audiences not even the possession of the exactest knowledge will make it easy for what we say to produce conviction. For argument based on knowledge implies instruction, and there are people whom one cannot instruct." from Aristotle's Rhetoric
Perfect example was already given to a work around of the law by a liberal prosecutor. My San Francisco shoplifting example. You just choose to ignore it and as normal never research anything for yourself. I'm not wasting time educating you.......as you said you don't care.I see a claim.....just no evidence
You could never be tougher than me on rioting pieces of crap. That's point number 1.My position on the assholes who took to the streets two years ago, across the country is likely far more unforgiving than your.
This however has nothing to do with trumps attempt to overthrow the election.
Two wrongs don't make a right. You should have learned this in grade school.
You don't slaughter yourself. You don't slaughter yourself accidentally. Police don't slaughter those they are forced to use deadly force on.Why would we not count all the slaughter?
Why do you only want to count one kind of gun slaughter?
You are transparent.
That race card might work if I was White. I'm Puerto Rican and Cuban. Sorry to ruin your attempt to play that race card."You carry automobile insurance? Expecting a collision? Or are you being prudent and cautious?"
It's forced upon on us via "the law".
The reason whites like you in america are afraid harkens back to the founding, how euro colonizers came by this land mass, and the nature by which america generated its seed wealth.
Issued by the military to the militia! 25 percent of private citizens own guns and can get ammo.....with a permit.Not for the weapons issued by the military
Nope I just wanted to prove your claim that more guns equals more gun murder was false. Which this did with ease.You want people in America to have to get a permit to buy ammo??????
