It's funny because when it comes to religion he will tell you that just because you experienced it doesn't mean anyone else does. And because you experience it doesn't make it true. But when it comes to guns he will tell you because he felt powerful the first time he shot a gun and that everybody feels that way, it's everybody's experience because it was his. It's the biggest piece of hypocrisy I've ever seen him type out on this website.

Weapons effect Poly.

Don't doubt it for a minute.

The court procedure is irrelevant.

The gun that took two lives is the relevant issue.

Guns have no agency.

What about the argument "we cant stop all gun violence, so why bother stopping any at all?"
I believe what I was saying, was more about finding the actual causes of a problem, so the solution can be effective, and use ethical policy making approaches that don't necessarily I fringe on people's rights

Making guns illegal worked almost everywhere else in developed nations, especially for school shootings, surveillance is a very good idea when it comes to spotting dangerous individuals.

The United States has a pretty good surveillance apparatuses.  As well as a continue that prides itself in freedom,can have anyway. 

I don't think you can point to any examples of countries with a lot of school shooting shooting problems, that fixed them with gun control. The main reason being, that it's a pretty american problem. At least to my knowledge.

Wrong. This was the exact thing that after just 1, just 1, instantly caused the UK to loathe guns almost overnight.


It was of course not always this way in other gun-loathing nations. It was many killings, you're right. However, the cause is irrelevant...

That particular incident was terrible. That doesn't seem to show a pattern of school shootings, followed by anti gun laws and then followed by decreased mass casualty events at schools.

Because they were all stopped, at least we can say over 98% that could/would occur never happened. You can't 'measure' the ones that never happened.
