give me one example of a time where gun violence went down after the government of a first world country imposed gun control
- williamcotton 14y agoHow about in the United States, where homicides from firearms dropped dramitically after the federal law banning certain assault-weapons in 1994, bottoming out and climbing since the law's repeal in 2004? Or how about the statistical analysis of gun homicides vs gun ownership in countries with a GDP of over $20k? But why do I have to prove to you why having guns around is a horrible thing? We could argue to the death over the correlation and causation between guns, crime, money and murder and not make any sense of it. At the end of the day, you're the one saying that yes, as a society, we should not only allow, but promote these devices whose sole purpose is to spit violence and extinguish life. It is madness!!!

- chris_wot 14y agoSince the gun buyback of 1996 and the banning of automatic weapons ad semi-automatic weapons, there have been no mass killings in Australia. We'd be doing even better if we controlled hand guns. Hope this gives a truth value to your existential quantifier.
