It’s *always* economics. At least you’re catching on. Brazil’s socioeconomic inequality is far worse than ours. In Western Europe, it’s far better than ours. But between France and England, it’s about the same, thus the similar gun-homicide rates despite the ownership disparity

And that’s my point. Our gun-death rate isn’t because of gun-ownership rates, it’s because of our terrible socioeconomics. No universal healthcare, huge wealth/wage gap, the war on drugs, etc. We fix those, we fix the gun deaths.

Steve—the question I think is on everyone’s minds, here, is what is your goal in sharing these incredibly dull takes? There isn’t a single solution & no one asked you to find one. No one wants to *just* ban guns. Have you been arguing against a suggestion no one made?

You want to ban weapons that are defined for how they look rather than how they operate, and there are over 15 million of them in circulation not counting the ones made at home. And we don't know where they are. So, you want to "ban guns" is accurate. You just define which ones.

You have no idea what we know about guns. I want to ban guns based on their action. Wound ballistics. Maybe you don’t know a lot about guns. What they DO, not how they look. Do tests to determine the guns. I won’t even look at the gun. Only the damage & how fast it can do it.

Cute picture—I am not fucking 5. I don’t care about these random right wing images you post. I walked a guy through the errors in all of his last night & I’ll just assume yours are bullshit or simplified. Provide links & reliable sources or don’t bother with this trash.

The Ruger Mini-14 Ranch (the wooden gun) is EXACTLY THE SAME as an AR-15. Same. Exact. Thing. Both fire .223 ammunition at the exact same rate, velocity, etc. Both have high-capacity magazines as well. The only difference is that one is made of wood and doesn't have a pistol grip
