Comment on Federal judge again strikes down California law banning gun magazines of more than 10 rounds
PizzaMan@lemmy.world 1 year agoOnce again lumping in suicides without clearly stating such
Suicides are a form of gun violence.
This data includes suicides, which a mag disconnector, chamber indicator, registry, etc won’t help with.
I never made that argument, so this is a strawman.

Strawman? My friend these are gun laws in California. The state we’re talking about.

And the intent behind them, at least the ones you specified, is not to deal with suicides. They are to prevent accidents (which is a part of gun violence).
You are basically saying “these car seat belt laws don’t do anything to prevent airplane crashes!”. Yeah no shit, that wasn’t the point of those laws.

Dog I think you’re losing track of the conversion. This post is about mag capacities, a measure trying to tackle gun murder. I started my comment talking about gun murders. I’m still taking about gun murders and related laws. You brought up suicide statistics
PizzaMan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, I brought up firearm deaths as a whole, which is a part of the problem. California has addressed it, which is why they have a lower firearm death rate.
And like I said, that is misleading. California’s gun laws were added to reduce firearm deaths at a whole, so it is misleading to only go by gun murders.
