Great question. This is where leadership comes in. People need to be asked to give up their guns. To volunteer to restrict their rights. A national call to the greater good. When most guns were banned in other countries, people gave them up voluntarily.

And their leaders didn't toss up their hands like Cowards and and say, "it's not possible" or "show me a way". They engaged & it worked. We all forgo rights and privileges everyday because it protects us all from the few who would abuse it. Its called being an adult & a citizen.

I’ve offered both long-term and short-term solutions that will work. Can you explain why gun ownership has skyrocketed since 1993 but gun homicides have dropped by half? Can you explain why France and England on this chart have the same homicide rate when Fr has 5x the guns?pic.twitter.com/Oulp4cPipQ

Sure. But you would need the patience to understand statistics and data, something I am amply experienced with. The simple mind seeks refuge in anecdotes. Reason requires looking at patterns on the whole & making informed judgments, even in the face of uncertainty & complexity.

I’m a data guy, too. I’ll take that as a no on both counts.

It is a reasonable question to ask why the residual differences among samples. Is there a reason some gun death rates are higher of lower for similar rates of gun ownership. Is it chance or are there other factors that we could identify that would lead to solutions.

You’re still not answering my questions. Do I have to ask again?

You offer nothing but anecdotes but expect answers in 1 minute. You offer evidence, not anecdotes, but evidence of all the claims you have put forward in this thread. I'll work not on the homicide one. Get back to you.

1993 to current, down by half here. (There’s more to this. We’ll see if you figure it out.) Gun ownership has skyrocketed in that time. So, how has it dropped by half? France to England, same gun-homicide rate, but France has 5x the rate of gun ownership. Why?

Its kind of like your point about income. The US has grown wealthier, but income disparity has grown. The same is true of guns.

This is incorrect. Do you want the actual answers?
