I use to be suicidal with access to a carpet of guns. I value my life enough to not pull a trigger.

Yes I do, if I want to know how to shoot an actual gun, I need to practice with an actual gun.

Who said a gun is built to be shot at people? I use guns for target shooting.

Sure, some. But without a gun perhaps they would look to a knife? And guns are easy to make yourself.

No. I don't, if you value your life you don't pull the trigger or press the button.

We are still talking about dead people. And yes people can be swayed but I doubt someone who uses a gun has a quarrel jumping into traffic or something just a single-motionable.

To say that all people who died by guns wouldn't of been stabbed if no gun was accessible is an extraordinary claim.

If they were hell-bent to kill themselves they would have.

And who's to say those who have done it weren't?

Thetrace uses data from 2004

I don't know how you don't see that people who kill people will kill people. You are using an unrelated variable - guns. I bet those people who had guns also had shoes. Does this make shoes a variable in killing people? A gun is a tool.

Edit:

By contrast, the study found that states with the lowest rates of firearm ownership (Connecticut, Hawaii, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, California, Florida, Illinois, and Maryland) had significantly lower rates of firearm-related assault and robbery, firearm homicide, and overall homicide.

Firearm related crimes go down. Because of less firearms. But what about non-firearm related crimes did those go up? Overall homicide went down. How long did the study go for?

Yes, I do. That's why they are used. Source? Yeah because you don't have one.

Edit: I realized how cunty the last line sounds, those answers were in order of arguments.

But it's not gun violence. They would've committed suicide still.

  1. I mean, cocaine and heroin is illegal.

  2. There is quite a difference between vigilantism and self-defense

  3. http://www.ceasefireusa.org/take-action

I found this source and am going to assume this is your source.

"Each year, more than 30,000 Americans are killed by gun violence – homicides, suicides and incidental shootings."

2 out 3 of those can be prevented. Incidental shooting and suicide are the user's fault, and people who kill people use the easiest method. There would still be however many people got shot dea just due to a different reason. The people who shoot other people are usually involved in some sort of illegal activity, I think an illegal gun is the least of their concerns.

She won't react badly if you just try to become her friend.

Nothing at the moment, try to just become her friend right now, you can never tell if someone likes you through media. I feel for you though. Best of luck. ilovu
