a deterrent from what? it's true that just flashing a gun can stop crime, but that happens no more commonly than stopping a crime by firing one. And in the majority of cases where someone simply brandishes a weapon it's pointed at someone who is undesirable or different and not actually a threat
- YPCrumble 6y agoThis is just made up statistics. Also, a gun doesn’t have to be shown to someone to act as a deterrent. I’m not saying that I think guns are effective or not, but when I see arguments like this that cherry pick statistics or make up stories to appeal to emotion it makes me suspicious about the validity of the argument.
