I'm not familiar with the situation in other countries, so only spoke of my knowledge of the US and the legal case I linked to, though it does make sense that that's also true in the UK and elsewhere. Still, I would think that the reasons I mentioned should be valid or invalid regardless of the situation in other countries.
- DanBC 9y agoYou're saying that the rural community needs guns to stay safe? Suicide kills more people than murder, and restricting access to means and methods is the first thing you should do to reduce the death rate. One of the reasons the rural youth suicide rate is so high (double that of urban 10 to 24 year olds) is because of the easy access to guns. "guns keep people safe" is, frankly, fucking stupid.
- sarvinc 9y agoA few things. WRT suicides; are you for restricting access to anything used to cause suicide or just firearms? I’m just now reading this, take it with a grain of salt, but it’s safe to say that firearms are used to keep people safe https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?httpsredir=1&article=6938&context=jclc https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/cgi/viewconten... I usually try not to enter in to arguments where I know I won’t change my mind. I’m wasting the time of someone who disagrees with me but is willing to exchange ideas. “frankly, fucking stupid” reads like you’re not interested in hearing contrary evidence. It saddens me.
