So in the same way immigration can't stop Islamic extremists, but could reduce their numbers, couldn't stricter gun laws reduce incidents of mass murder?

I just wanna point out that your comparison is flawed. Immigration changes would stop the perpetrators of violence, a gun law would only make a tool harder to acquire instead of stopping the perpetrators.

Depends on how you look at it.
My point is reduction through increased difficulty. In that way, it's an apt comparison.

A psycho who wants to kill people and can't get a gun will use other things instead, like a truck or a pressure cooker bomb.


You mean the pressure cooker bombs that killed 3 people in Boston? Yeah those things sure are as deadly as guns that kill dozens in minutes.

The majority of mass shootings have fewer than 5 deaths.

Does that include gang and drug violence?

Always? Every time?
If an Islamic Extremist wants to get in the country, won't they just come in anyway?


Hard to get in the country if there is a massive ocean in the way.

Even not counting the cases with no fatalities, there's extremely few cases where a mass shooter kills more than 3 people

That's just school shootings, not all mass shootings. What is a mass shooting to you, more than 2, evidently. Guess I can't directly refute that, but to me, you need more.

Also, will a psycho that can't get a gun find another method every time?

Nor am I, but people who are mentally unstable enough to want to commit suicide are more likely to do so if there is a gun in the house. That says something, I think.

A chart about half way through shows that knives are just as bad as firearms are. Therefore, should we ban knives as well? Should we ban being unarmed too, as being unarmed is one of the most common way to commit homicide?

It's incredible that a developed country can even say that. Only a gun nut thinks that "The majority of mass shootings kill less than 5 people" being a good case for keeping guns so loosely regulated. Like jesus christ. Imagine someone saying that without a pinch of irony. A mass shooting by FBI definition is the killing of 4 or more people. So I'm not sure what definition you are using to claim that it's usually less than 4 people. You fabricate things as you go, eh?

And this may come as a shock, but I own firearms. I conceal carry 99% of the time. So I'm not a "gun-hating liberal." I just also happen to have a grasp on reality.

Pressure cooker bombs are still much more difficult to make than buying a gun. If people would just as easily use pressure cookers, why don't those attack occur in developed countries like Australia? It's clear most psychotic people aren't going to go through much hassle. The hassle alone cuts down on the amount of mass killings if guns are unavailable. As we've seen in countries that have banned semiautos.

No I'm pretty sure making a pressure cooker bomb is way more feasible for deranged teenagers than buying a $900+ rifle is.

Because Australia has 1/20th of our population and better mental health programs.

So you do not deny that knives are far more dangerous than firearms?

Guns have other uses as well other than illegal uses. Hunting, sport, etc.

Tougher immigration laws will only keep good immigrants out. Bad guys will ignore the laws and still come in.

Any ban on semiautomatic rifles likely would have. Australia had multiple mass shooting involving semiautl rifles and once they were banned, they stopped completely.

But let me guess, "America is different and people will always shoot up schools no matter what" or something along those lines, right?

Why make the $900 dollar assault rifle vs pressure cooker argument.
Your logic is egregiously inconsistent.
Not a matter of your intelligence. If only you would use that brain of yours more. It's a shame.

The handguns point is in reference to a completely different string of argument unrelated to the one between me and you.

Protip: don't accuse other people of being stupid when you yourself are the one who's confused. It makes you look even dumber than whatever your argument was.

It's a false dichotomy because abortion is considered justifiable. Has nothing to do whether they are alive. Only whether you believe a human should have the right to terminate bodily housing another.

A semi-auto AR-15 is no different than a 9mm pistol.

Most of homicides by guns is done with pistols.

So that's not really a solution.

I'm not going to go into a debate about what should be done, because it isn't a black and white issue.

Just banning one and not others when they are inherently the same thing, isn't a solution.

Banning all guns is another issue because it requires an amendment to the constitution that, likely, will not happen.

The amendments are for adding rights, not revoking them. That's just opening up a huge can of worms.

It's just a sad state of the world we're living in that we even need to have these discussions.

I never said you were stupid, I made that clear.
You're argument was that it was easier to use a pressure cooker than an assault rifle. If that's true, then why are most mass shootings done with a hand gun, when that's much, much easier?
Again, I really don't think you're stupid. I think you are intelligent, which is why it's a shame you don't use you're head. You often let your personal, partisan politics influnce your thinking. There are many times where you use logic that you criticise others for using, you often ghost topics and ignore questions - all while touting yourself to be superior and not prone to any flawed thinking. I've never seen you rethink your position. You're right, simply because you're right.

No idea. But we do know an improvised bomb is easily made and can kill as many people as could in a mass shooting.

Look I won't "ghost" out of topics where people back up their arguments with empirical data. But it's always the same flawed arguments over and over again with no factual basis. "America has the most mass shootings of all developed countries", not even close, when you look at the data per capita. "Gun bans decreased homicides in Australia", they didn't, the ban didn't affect the downward trend of their homicide rate at all. "Banning AR-15s would stop mass shootings", a tiny minority of mass shootings are committed with rifles. "Gun control would save lives", there has never been any study showing a casual correlation between gun control and less murders.

I can, and have, shown all these things to be true with real evidence, and the usual crap I get in response is "Don't you care about the kids??"

I already waste enough of my life shitposting on a video game message board; not gonna waste more of it on useless discussions.

Darkman often throws empirical data at you and uses logic stronger than you're own. Not saying that means you have to change your stance, but you don't make any indication that you even bothered to rethink your stance.

That's just school shootings, not all mass shootings. What is a mass shooting to you, more than 2, evidently. Guess I can't directly refute that, but to me, you need more.

Also, will a psycho that can't get a gun find another method every time?

I'm not a psychologist, but if you're mentally unstable enough to want to kill people that badly, not getting a gun isn't gonna stop you.

Nor am I, but people who are mentally unstable enough to want to commit suicide are more likely to do so if there is a gun in the house. That says something, I think.

Post research of this statement. Many of the country's with the top suicide rates in the world have some of the most stringent gun control, and they simply have a different primary means of suicide. So what you are basically saying is that you have a problem that people opt to choose a relatively painless way to die as opposed to other ways.

Wow, strikingly unimportant statement!

If your statement was accurate, explain why the highest guns per capita in the WORLD is #48 on the list of suicide rates. Because according to your twisted logic, more access to guns means a higher chance of suicide no?

Suicide is the most prominent factor that decreased following gun bans in Australia. It amazes me gun lovers can't grasp simple concepts.

Suicide has to have several factors to occur. Having the means does not mean suicide will happen.

In other words, guns do not cause people to kill themselves.

No kidding. But guns will make it more likely. Australia's suicide rate dropped dramatically. Why do you have so much trouble acknowledging well-known facts? Your argument is basically "There are people who own guns that don't kill themselves." No shit. It reeks of desperation.

Do you have any evidence to support the suicide rate dropping? The 'gun ban' in Australia did not make much of a dent in homicides in Australia overall, so I'd like to see that statistic.

Suicides did drop, but there was also a robust mental health system at that time that continues into today. It's ridiculous to credit one over the other because it helps your case. If it were just the bans then you'd see startling drops in gun free cities.

It is a cultural problem that doesnt got any black and white solution.
We need multiple different costly projects that will take years before we see a change, it exist no magical solution that will work 24 hours after it is decided.
