Well even if we banned guns. Criminals wouldn’t give them up. We’d just disarm lawful owners.

It’s crazy how the criminals in Europe tend not to use guns anywhere near as much as the U.S.

That’s is one of the dumbest things you’ve said which is hard to top. My hats off to you.
Do you think victims care if they were stabbed to death or shot to death? Or if they were beat to death ?

Holy shit you have zero awareness.

This isn’t a good argument. Criminals get guns through lawful processes. They buy guns directly from gun shops, or they buy them at gun shows, or they buy them from private sellers, all of which are legal methods of buying guns. There is of course a black market for guns, but if you’re too stupid to acquire a gun legally, you’re probably going to fall for the obvious FBI sting operation that calls itself Black Market Firearms dot com. I’m not linking it here, in the off chance that it really is an online retailler of explicitly illegal firearms and ammunition.
The point is, most gun control legislation is aimed at the methods criminals use to obtain guns. Restrictions on straw purchases, requirements for background checks at gun shows and for private sales, requirements to report lost or stolen guns, these are all reasonable restrictions that don’t take guns away from lawful owners.

I think you’re talking about black market armory

Go to the website. What do you think is illegal ? I didn’t see anything illegal
themeatbridge@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I don’t know if we’re on the same website. The first result from my search for “black market firearms” gave me a website that says “we sell illegal firearms and ship them to you.” So, I’m guessing when you give them money and an address, they keep the money and give the address to the ATF.

Not even close to accurate.

And it’s pretty obvious. A tool meant to kill being around makes it easier to kill. If it’s easier to kill, more death will happen.
Next they should research if water is wet, I’m sure they’ll come to a similarly shocking conclusion.

So you have no argument. You just like living in a world where people get shot a ll the time, got it.
