Comment on Federal judge again strikes down California law banning gun magazines of more than 10 rounds
sudo22@lemmy.world 9 months agoDog 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

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.

You’re over simplifying the issue.

How?

Lumping in 2 issues with 2 separate causes and solutions as evidence that (in this case) a mag capacity ban works, is an oversimplification.
Mag cap bans have nothing to do with suicide and weren’t intended to. So bringing it up is just a distraction from the conversion this post is focusing on.
