And imagine that we already have laws in place for drunk driving.
For guns even if I am diagnosed mentally ill nobody can cite me for carrying a gun.
- themacguffinman 4y agoOkay, let's take away 30% of fatal car accidents. There is still a truly enormous magnitude of car deaths. I can still show you a relentless barrage of gory car death scenes, are you now persuaded to ban cars?
- whatever1 4y agoWhat is this logic? If we cannot fix 100% a problem then we should not even try to curb it? No, introducing gun laws will not stop 100% crime and violent acts. It will not even stop 100% of gun violence. Still it does not mean that we should treat rampant gun violence as the norm. These massacres do not happen outside the US at this scale.
- themacguffinman 4y agoI never said any of that. I wanted to know if you would be persuaded by seeing gory car deaths because you suggested that others would be persuaded by seeing gory gun deaths. If you aren't for cars, then I'd be surprised if it worked on the issue of guns which produces fewer mortalities. It would suggest that there's another factor at play than just how many gory deaths there are.
