Gun laws work!

[Not getting younger]

This is one of the most hilariously inane posts in a long time.
Captain obvious fires his shot and hits the wrong target.

Whiff. You are still at 0.00%. It doesn’t even count as a deflection.

Just one more of about 5 today alone.

So far you've noted that gun control laws work by comparing Chicago to Toronto, noted that its rural Ontario that has the crime and gun problem and also noted that Toronto's increase in crime is largely auto theft.

You've been doing a good job confirming my points.

Maybe this the time to suggest Frank think about cause and effect. And your arguements or what you think are arguments ( but are really naught but deflections) hold less water than a block of Swiss cheese, an empty shell casing, and really are little more wind from across an ocean you don’t about, or yet another whiff Frank.

You might also want to think about the fact, all your arguments are unsubstantiated versus mine which I’m always able to back up with data and live ammunition

And suggest Frank learn to read statistics as well

You presented the evidence that I just quoted above.

Are you going to suggest what the causes of the rise in crime in rural areas and the rise in car theft in Toronto come from?

No you twisted it

No you don’t know stats ( like weighted indexes)

No you don’t know facts like Chicago having strict GC

No you don’t read what headlines and the police are telling you about gangs.

No you don’t understand smuggling

No you don’t understand criminals don’t respect laws

No you don’t understand Australia and Japan are half way around the world

No you don’t grasp Chicago has a considerably larger police force and budget. Despite the fact you whine about RNs per capita

No you don’t understand their violent crime rates are lower than ours.

No You are way out of your depth and league Frank and there is just no other way to put it

And that’s just this thread

ALL FACTS

No, I directly used the posts and info you provided.
You just don't like it and didn't connect the dots between your sources.

Australia is an island
The UK is an island
Japan is an island
Korea is an island

Canada is NOT an island. We are the 2nd largest country in the world and share the worlds longest uncontrolled border with the worlds largest firearms manufacturer.

What you said about the U.S. is blatantly false. Many anti-gun states have higher shooting stats than pro-gun states. Even regarding the U.S. the vast majority of deaths are suicides and gang related, both accounting for 1/3 of deaths each. Excluding LEO shootings, only a small fraction of the deaths are actual homicides on innocent victims, and this includes domestic violence.

Also thanks for conveniently ignoring all the pro gun countries like Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and many others who have low gun stats despite having lax gun laws.

1) You seem to get it with Canada but ignore that states with more restrictions also suffer from the fact that a quick drive across a state line can get you a gun without any kind of background check.
2) Most people differentiate criminal gun violence from things like mass shootings. Most people don't give a shit about criminals killing each other, as long as there are bystanders who are attractive to the media (White women draw lots of clicks but black male bystanders get glossed over). On the other hand, mass shooters are often using weapons that were legally purchased, even when the buyer has a known record of domestic violence or mental health crisis. hell, you have parents buying guns for their struggling kids (glad the courts held them responsible in the one case).
3) The countries you mention don't have lax gun laws. Switzerland has gun laws similar to Canada requiring an acquisition permit and background check before being allowed to buy. They even require documentation for airsoft and paintball guns. Like Canada they also ban large magazines on semi-auto weapons. The only real difference is you can apply for fully automatic weapons on an individual basis. More importantly, they have a culture where guns are part of national defence and used responsibly, not seen as a toy to wave around any time you get into an argument.

OMG. Do you know.
Criminals don’t respect laws? And there’s something called smuggling? Often don’t respect human life either.

Apparently not.

For a former(?) cop to say we shouldn't have laws because some people ignore them sounds funny.
