[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for those who claim gun laws don’t work.

If, hypothetically, it could be proven beyond a doubt that stricter gun laws would significantly reduce gun deaths (particularly re: children), would you then agree to jump through some hoops (longer wait, limits on ammo, etc.)?

Because I’m fairly confident you’re just making the conclusory argument that gun reform won’t work so that you don’t have to admit to yourself that you just don’t want to be bothered. But even you know it sounds bad to say “I will accept the status quo of gun deaths because I don’t want to be inconvenienced,” so instead you’ll contort yourself into pretzels to blame any f-ing thing except the guns.[/quote]

“Gun laws don’t work” isn’t “conclusory argument.”  It’s an observation of demonstrated fact. And continued pursuit of the same tired, failed “solutions” takes attention and resources away from dealing with whatever has happened in US society to make some people think killing their neighbors is a desirable goal.

It is not demonstrated fact that it doesn’t work. We haven’t even tried to enforce any sort of national gun policy reform, so you’re just deciding it won’t work before we even try. Not to mention there was a reduction in mass shootings during the assualt weapons ban in the 90s. Plus numerous other countries have successfully enacted stricter gun laws.

How about, we try it for 10 years and if nothing improves we can go back to doing it your way.[/quote]

The poster guy is a misogynist of the belief that life is better when women are subordinate and cannot vote. He wouldn't even deny it. His views are far right/fringe. Not worth arguing with.
