Undeniable proof that gun control works

[diggummup]

Guys you completely missed the point of the post.

Explain that to us again. We are kind of thick.

Do you understand the concept of cherrypicking?

My point exactly. Your title is a joke.

Yeah... it's a real shame more people didn't get shot.

no its a real shame when people dont understand leave somebody alone and they wont get hurt......stay out of there business and they wont get hurt....hope that I never even have to draw on somebody, but if life is at stake I will.


and the last time I checked all mass shootings was done by a lib or dem. so if killing is to be done look out for a dem, or lib!

I guess you don't understand sarcasm? Purposely done to mimic many other titles used on this site.

Just pointing out to any thinking person that most of the posts being put up are complete bs. Just simple cherrypicking and anyone can do it. We call it simple antidotal evidence and it is the weakest form of proof.

This isn't about agreeing or disagreeing with any position on gun control. Its about understanding the use of false logic so folks can think for themselves and not be deceived.

I'm glad you say the title is meant to be sarcastic. To the average uninformed member here, it does not appear that way, it appears straightforward as do some of your additional replies. I think I pointed out the fact that (as the thinking person I am) statistics are BS as I more or less stated in my first reply on this thread.
Have a good 'un.

"Undeniable proof" straightforward?? I would hope anyone seeing anything stating undeniable proof would have a big huge skeptical red flag thrown up?? Hopefully everyone is a little more skeptical about everything they see. These are simple fallacy which are very easy to pick out once you know what to look for. A more knowledgable population is the cornerstone of any modern society. Don't be deceived - think for yourself. Best.

Yes a red flag. Which is why I replied the way I did. As someone who doesn't know your position, I figured you for one of the flock that really believes what your title says. You know how it gets on here at times. Believe me , there are plenty of sheep out there that would eat that up and swallow it whole... hook line and sinker. I still think you may be one of the anti gun nuts, but that's your prerogative.

PS- Why the 2 posts with the same topic? Only "Undeniable" added to one?

People's positions on a subject does not matter. A bad argument is a bad argument whether you agree with the "conclusion" or not. That is the point I'm trying to make. Be just as skeptical of "proof" from the pro gun side as "proof" from the Antigun side. Be skeptical.

And with that we can agree. Skepticism is a way of life for some, for others here's a leash.

Educated population is the best defense against tyranny.

maybe murders are down because instead of fighting back against armed or strong arm rapists, robbers and home invaders * unarmed citizens just "give it up" instead and just get beat up instead of killed -- or you see the police in NYC in a classic case of "fuzzy math" most likely in the past counted "shot crimals" killed in the act as "murder victims" since its impossible to get a pistol permit in nyc (sullivan act) so crooks shot by homeowners with "illegal guns" are counted as " crime victims " ie murdered * as were gang on gang crime victims

And do you think the same games might be played with statistics showing homicides increasing in areas where guns were banned (like everyones favorite chicago example) or are those examples all the gospel truth?

Well Sp I'v been looking at your stats and the way politicians think What else can he say to keep his job/ I think this generation of crooks are just bad shots. Like the Chicago cop said Ears shot off don't count. " There's 8 million stories in this town and this is one of them" The facts Frank just the facts.

On what did you think of the racial / gender makeup of the NYC cops? That going to bring the standards down?

 

[worldtalker]

No one is coming to take for guns my friend. No banning and no confiscation. No one besides the NRA and big gun saying that. Again, your guns are safe - no one is coming for them.

How do you know this for a FACT,do they have to tell you they are? You have too much of what the downfall of man was!

You know my thinking I suggest you take a few days and visit a police station and find a cop over the age 19 and ask him about the way hiring is done. Like I said before if your not a cop or firefighter you'll never get in their heads. If your a single child you have no idea what brothers stand for. It's a different world and the problem is it was shoved up our Butts and never saw it coming.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

So your saying murder stats are up because they are making up murders Murder stats are published ever year, for the murders stats to be increasing and not be accurate they would need to be making up murders that never happen.

I guess that is one way to keep people from moving to Chicago.

 

[Valley Ranger]

This is absolute nonsense. I see you chose New York for your example. Why not Chicago? Washington DC? More Guns, Less Crime Besides, the 2nd amendment is a God-given right. It preceded government and our Constitution, therefore it's not something that a government can legitimately take away.

Spoons make people fat.
