You're constructing a straw man to argue with.
My point remains that in the case of the US vs a similarly-sized population drawn from other first-world countries, the US has a dramatically higher rate of gun deaths.
There's really no point in arguing this fact; you can go look it up for yourself. If you think that that is a dishonest comparison, well, I can't help you.
- roel_v 10y agoWell I have rebuked the core two tenets of your argument several times in this thread, i.e. the cherry picking in your 'first world countries', and the 'gun deaths are different from other deaths' part, and all you can come back with is 'there is no point arguing' (uh?), 'you can go look it up' (I did, and showed you where, and you just ignore it) and 'I can't help you'. It seems to me you're the one who's too caught up in their identity politics to entertain the facts.
- na85 10y agoLiterally nowhere have I mentioned identity politics of any sort. Your "rebukes" have been nonsensical, as if you're not actually reading what's written. You're responding to some imaginary argument that you have constructed.
