People can kill with almost anything.

Okay.
What do people usually kill with?

Mentally unstable people on hormones. What could possibly go wrong.

Cops on Steroids has entered the chat.

"Was it the "gun" or the Transgender?"

Hmm let's see.
"The crazed gunman who killed two people"

I'm guessing these people were killed with a gun, not with a gender identity.

Doid somebody say otherwise?
Maybe the coroner report says cause of death: Transgender.

So you only want ways to kill you approve of?
#23 | Posted by boaz

There ways of killing that do you don't approve of?

"My S&W 40 M&P I have sitting next to me hasnt done a thing all morning."

Not entirely true.
It's constantly providing you with Gender Affirming Care.

Maybe the coroner report says cause of death: Transgender.
Mental Illness probably will be the reason.

"Mental Illness" isn't the cause of death.
"Gunshot Wound" is a cause of death.

Another trans killed someone. That's the news.

So what?
Should we take trans people's guns away or something?

"If I was to kill someone, I would be the one who did it, not the instrument I used."

You would be the one who did it, with the instrument you used.

If the instrument would not do it without me, it's not the instrument's fault.

Who said it was the instrument's fault?

It's the fault of a society that lets killers have ready access to instruments designed for killing.

A sensible person wouldn't hand the car keys to a drunk person.

A sensible person wouldn't hand a gun to someone who wants to murder people.

Some Cuban kid beat you up on the playground and you've never recovered.

And someone sexually assaulted you with a gun.

Oh, so that's what happened to you.
You were raped, and it hardened your heart.
Well, at least we have an Origin Story for you now.

In terms of being a survivor of sexual assault, who had it worse, you or Ashley Biden?

He already has a dirt floor to sleep on.

His claim is always that capitalism is bad.

More lies from the man who actually sincerely believes Trump didn't rape those children.

The way you whine about Trump every day, I believe Trump raped you as a little girl.
#85 | Posted by fortfisher

Oh so you do believe Trump is a rapist.
What's even better is you like it.
Really owns the Libs with all that rape.
You sure showed me!

Capitalism is so afraid of Socialism it had to put an embargo on Cuba since before you were born, LftHndThrds.

Do you think trade embargoes are Capitalism?
I bet you never even thought about it.
I bet you'll never think about it.

Nothing positive whatsoever."
That's not a fact; it's an opinion.

More Americans have been killed by guns since WWII, than American soldiers were killed during WWII.
Roughly 1,500,000 to 400,000.

You're gonna spin that as a positive? I don't think you can.
Can you even admit that's a negative? I don't think you can do that either.

I guess that's your way of saying you can't admit that's bad either.

Do you think there's any correlation at all between the fact that the United States is the only country in existence with as permissive a gun control policy as the Second Amendment, and the prevalence of gun violence in the United States?

I'm going to guess you will have a hard time acknowledging the correlation, and you will feverishly deny any sort of causal link.

But hey, maybe you're smarter than JeffJ after all. Can never tell with you, when it comes to guns.

"Just CARRYING a gun is now just a good excuse for law enforcement to shoot you."

What a surprise when the very same people
who say the purpose of the Second Amendment
is to protect us from Tyranny then said:

Pretti got what he had coming. Because
he was legally armed at a protest.

"Why not more were killed in the US than in the entire GWOT during the first two decades of the millennium?"

That's gonna make it worse.
7,085 in 20 years (Bush's Wars) vs 40,000+ a year (Americans).

"In any case, the US isn't even near the top of gun violence per capita stats"

Let's look at those cases.
We are #1 among developed nations.
And we're certainly towards the top of the list globally.

compared to numerous countries that have tighter restrictions than the US.
#105 | Posted by jpw

Every country on the planet has "tighter restrictions than the US."
The US twenty years ago had "tighter restrictions than the US."

What some very poor countries don't have, as you're aware, is a reliable enforcement mechanism.

Look at all these countries that rate above the United States on
Gun Violence By Country, Gun Death Rate Per 100K (2021)

Notice how every last one is in the Western Hemisphere.
Where do you suppose they're getting the guns from?

Canada is also in the Western Hemisphere but their rate is 2.43, about one-fifth of the Untied States.
Why do you suppose Canada is better at suppressing gun violence than, say, Mexico or Venezuela?

"You still think I'm arguing something I'm not."

I know you're not even engaging this argument, because you know it's a lost cause.

I agree it's a huge problem and that it's long past solvable at this point, whether that be practically or literally via lack of willpower.
