@bascule You're fighting a straw man. and losing. no one thinks gun control stops murder. -
@chriseppstein what purpose does it serve? -
@bascule to reduce the number of murders. -
@chriseppstein "no one thinks gun control stops murder" o_O -
@bascule that's what I said. -
@chriseppstein then you immediately contradicted yourself? -
@bascule I didn't. Please apply your very smart brain to this conversation. -
@chriseppstein my only conclusion is that you think gun control will stop murder - 8 more replies

@bascule@chriseppstein In a moment of rage it's easier to pick up your guns than it is to sit down and think about how to "gas" a building -
@renaebair@chriseppstein guns do offer simple logistics for mass murder. I'm not disputing that -
@bascule making something easier to do increases the chance that it will happen, right? -
@chriseppstein not necessarily, it can just as easily shift business from a regulated market to a black market -
@bascule black markets are harder to use. Much harder actually. -
@chriseppstein yes, they also have a much higher incidence of collateral violence. How much homicide was caused by illegal drugs deals? -
@bascule I'm ok if that happens to people planning murders. -
@chriseppstein because when black market deals go wrong, only bad people die - 6 more replies
