History Lesson as to why guns are the problem.

It sure will make them harder to do though...

Just like dating the use of heroin has made it hard to do that right?

If the government was competent enforcing laws no one could make an argument before the ownership of firearms.
 
No, but they will significantly decrease those crimes involving a firearm.

... and crime in general. Crime isn't so easy when you have a knife... think of kids or women or small guys... having to fight is much harder than pointing a gun at a person...

Well if you do crime then just get a gun because you don't care about consequences. Love's Banning things don't make them magically disappear.
 
No one here thinks that making hand guns freely available in Sweden would decrease the murder rate.

About ten days ago three young men were shot dead in Uppsala, 7 miles from where I type. All were drug gang members, the alleged 16 year old shooter is also a gang member. The overwhelming majority of murders in Sweden are gang related.
Which proves the criminals will still be armed and the law-abiding citizens will not. How is that a good outcome?
 
No. I did not lie and you did not lie. I erred in not making it a Question Mark.

You said:



And I said, in error:



Not that complicated.

"But you know that it was stupid?", is the question.

"You didn't watch it", is the false premise you're demanding be accepted to answer the fallaciously complex question.
 
Yes. Seems a pretty obvious question at that...



Because I misread your comment... I just explained that.

What comment of mine did you fail to understand?

Is that a question?

There isn't a question in my post other than my quoting your question.

Yeah. He said he watched the video, and you immediately formed a question around the premise that he did NOT watch the video. What did you misread? If you thought he said he did NOT watch the video, why didn't you just say that?

I did. He said he did watch it and I misread it and said he didn't watch it... but somehow knew that it was stupid.

This is really turning into quite the drama. What can I repeat for you now?

All you need to do is admit that you posted a lie about what I said and apologize for it.

LOL. All you need to do is comprehend what you read in order to see that it was not a lie. 🤭

So an honest mistake attached to a fallacious question is what you're telling me.

The 'Law-abiding' may also sometime shoot people. They may suffer mental illness, see threats where none exist and so on. There is no advanced country where people want to move towards US style gun ownership.

That's extremely rare
They may suffer mental illness, see threats where none exist and so on.
To a statistically insignificant number to the point you should be more worried about police
There is no advanced country where people want to move towards US style gun ownership.
And many of them are seeing increased crime.
