Comment on Federal judge again strikes down California law banning gun magazines of more than 10 rounds
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 1 year agoGun violence is nothing more than an arbritary metric whose sole purpose is gun control. If they wanted violence, theyd say violence. If they wanted suicides, theyd say suicides.
But no, they had a conclusion and made up gun violence as a metric.

How is counting the number of dead arbitrary?
People are needlessly dying. We absolutely need gun control.
Keeping track of how many have died is a reasonable thing.

You aren’t counting the number of dead. Only the acts using a specific tool. Its a metric about the tool, not about deaths. And besides, violence counts more than deaths.
People are needlessly dying. But gun control will not solve that. Focus on why people are killing themselves.

That’s exactly what I am doing. I quoted the number of dead per capita.
“No way to stop this says only country where this regularly happens.”
I’ll give you a hint, most countries solve this with gun control.

Specifically gun murders per capita. Because its not about murder, its about guns. If it was about murder, youd say murder.
Most countries solve this by not have massive drug and gang problems.
