No, I pointed out that the quoted text made an irrelevant distinction between different kinds of guns while the entire rest of the comment (and the ones it is replying to) are about guns in general
- zmgsabst 4y ago> That’s your only citation and hardly a compelling one to back up your claim that the US has a far lower crime rate thanks to all the guns We have your comment which dishonestly claims that link was related to the claim about crime rates — when it clearly wasn’t. The distinction is meaningful because gun restrictions tend to target rifles, when they’re hardly used in crimes.

- seoaeu 4y agoNo, I assumed you were engaging in good faith when you mentioned rifles. Instead you were responding to strawman argument no one made about how banning rifles (but not pistols) wouldn’t work.
