If something is illegal, it is more difficult to access it.
So the prohibition of alcohol in the 20s was a fantastic success? The prohibition of drugs currently phenomenal success right.
I'm sorry I disagree All prohibition does is create a black market and organized crime.
Most people prefer to avoid having to deal with criminal means to acquiring black market goods. Dealing with criminals sucks, the quality of the goods is touch-and-go, and there is of course the risk of arrest.
but if you make something illegal that I have the right to own I'm not dealing with criminals I'm dealing with freedom Fighters. That will be Touch and Go but it's worth it.
Therefore it would reduce the amount of available bullets in the country, and therefore reduce the number of killings.
no it wouldn't because it's only criminals that murder people they don't care about the law anyway.
Like I said murder is already illegal. And the the fact you continuously Dodge is that I can make my own bullets it's not that hard.
The only question is, by how much? We would have to see.
only if you're myopic the real question is what do we do if people make their own.
Did you know that people can do that did you know it's very simple there's literature books vast amounts of knowledge out there for it. Supplies are dirt cheap equipment is dirt cheap.
As I said, if it didn't reduce killings to at least terrorism-death levels, additional measures could be considered.
well it wouldn't do anything so what are these other measures?
It was certainly inspired by a comedy routine, but it's a solid idea nonetheless. Not once has anybody been able to refute it.
no it's a joke because it's ridiculous that's why it's funny it's called absurdist humor.
I have refuted it you just refuse to acknowledge it people can make their own bullets I do. Do you know why I do because it's cheaper so that's already the motivation.
[QUOTEPThe only direct rebuttal I've gotten so far ("people will just get the bullets on the black market")[/QUOTE] that's a bold-faced lie the rebuttal you got for me is that people would make their own.
doesn't even address my argument because I never claimed it would be an all-encompassing solution in the first place, only that it was one measure that could be implemented to bring the killings down.
well it's a comedy routine it's a particular type of humor called absurdist humor because it's absurd that's what makes it funny absurd things aren't practical.
And dead children. Lots and lots of dead children.
actually the opposite is true if there had been an armed person at the school and they delivered a fatal shot to the Killer there would be no dead children.
Do you know how many crimes are prevented by guns how many killings could potentially be prevented by guns?
We'll just FYI there's this thing humans do it's called War and the idea of that is to stop people from invading your country and killing you. This is done mostly by guns. The concept translates to any other situation where someone is going to shoot you.
