PhantOS:
Leisuresuit is pretty stupid but he did post some statistics. Beachbum please tell the audience what you think about these statistics? Are they fake? Are they stupid?
Tactical Nuke:
okay let me just splurge here:
- what the forget is an "assault weapon"? there is no solid legal definition, it varies across different regions
- mass shootings have consistently been on the decline over the years, much to your dismay
- the us does not have the most mass shootings in the world, being outmatched by yemen and even some countries in the european union
- AR-15 rifles are not "military" or "military-style" weapons, they are civilian rifles made by civilians for civilians for home defense, target shooting, etc. (NOT for mass shootings)
- there is no empirical evidence to back the claim that stricter gun control laws would reduce crime (look at vermont, among the loosest with gun laws and also less gun crime than a good amount of stricter states)
- gun control measures at large have NOT shown to be effective at curbing gun violence (look at chicago, detroit)
- the us does not have the highest violent crime rate in the industrialized world, again, being outmatched by countries like china and russia
- "gun deaths" include deaths by Self Delete, oops
- according to the FBI, guns save magnitudes more lives than they take, ranging from 200,000 to 3 million per year
- the second amendment DOES guarantee you the right to bear arms and the right to self preservation and that covers modern semi-automatic rifles made for civilians, just like it covered semi-automatic rifles like the belton flintlock back in the petticoat days
- the texas shooting last november that was being carried out by a wife-beater with an AR-15 who the government failed to catalog was STOPPED by a civilian ALSO with an AR-15 and the only way that could've been different is if you had enforced your stuffty little "assault weapons ban"
- the majority of mass shootings happen not because of not enough gun control, but because the government, like in texas, fails to catalog problem people and so they're able to legally get guns bypassing the restrictions already in place, and your idea is to give them MORE power? smart
did I miss anything
