    The issue still starts with people using guns to take lives (as this is the point of guns), so inevitably more guns will mean more deaths by guns. The correlation sort of implies a causality in any case. If you want to kill someone and you have access to a gun or a knife, you will use the gun.

      If you want to kill someone and you have access to a gun or a knife, you will use the gun.

      And in doing so, you’ll be able to kill a lot more people. A gun will almost always be able to kill more people than a knife.

        Except this is verifiable bullshit, as you’ve been told numerous times. Increases in guns do not cause increases in homicide, nor does your gun grabbing bullshit reduce it.

            Lmao funny how you have to cite bullshit from a known propaganda factory that intentionally ignores the overwhelming majority of data just to find the one place the stats line up in your favor.

              It’s Stanford…

              that intentionally ignores the overwhelming majority of data

              For there being an “overwhelming majority of data” that supports your conclusion, you have yet to cite a single source. How strange.

                I have, multiple fucking times, and all you do is dismiss them out of hand and try to pivot back to your constructed narrative, so why would I keep trying when you’ve overwhelmingly proven facts are irrelevant to your narrative?

                  If I am being honest, I don’t remember the things you’ve cited in the past. I was talking about this thread.

                  You using slurs and getting banned for it has been way more memorable.

                    Of course you don’t remember the facts that are inconvienient to the narrative you want to push. Because the only reason you’re here is to push your worthless propaganda.
