In reply to the discussion: 538 researcher's discovery about guns [View all]american_ideals
(613 posts)65. Gun fans: helping kids get killed every day in America. Need a handgun ban.
I live in an American city. Because handgun carry is legal, and because illegal handguns flood the city, my kids are at risk of getting killed every single day.
And any American that loves guns designed to kill people is complicit.
Keep single shot hunting weapons. Ban handguns and every other gun.
We need a handgun ban.

Your arguments are flawed - more guns means more crime and death. It's simple.

So you have yet to answer a simple question about the policy that you advocate. Why is that?

"I already cited the arguments, and the data." Where? I don't see anything.

You didn't link a Weeds podcast. You linked a pro-RKBA editorial in response to a pro-RKBA editorial

But I'll humor you by quoting article in support of a handgun ban anyway.

You're still missing the forest for the trees: ban handguns to keep kids in cities from getting shot

Now you're being ridiculous. Handgun bans will help, and Vox is a great source.

Your schtick is far from new- 'Proof by assertion' and 'Lovejoying'...

Sorry. When toys are recalled, does the government pay for them? (Hint: no).

Gun prohibitionists do far more typing than voting, so no 'gun recall'
