He was being sarcastic, I got that.

It's not the first time that he's said something sarcastically that was actually close to true.

His political beliefs cause him to have mental blind spots.

You need more guns to be safe.  You don't have enough guns.

All the evidence clearly shows that the more guns you have in a society, the safer you are.

Holy shit you guys, don't go to Iceland. You'll get killed due to not having any guns and thus, being completely unsafe.  :GA:

Iceland has one of the higher gun ownership rates in Europe.

15th in the world, actually.

The population is 300,000, so if you're talking number of guns per capita (there 90,000 estimated guns in the country) it's high. Heck, in England the gun per capita is 6.6 per 100 people. In a country of over 53.01 million people.

It's not a problem of the guns themselves, it's access to them. In both England and Iceland there are a shitload of restrictions on who can get a gun and who can't. Most of the people who own a gun in England are people in the countryside, farmers and the like. In Iceland the list of restrictions is also high.

Guns have sadly become a part of the American culture and you people can just pick up a gun whenever from assault weapons to pump-action shotguns. Iceland and England can't actually do that. As well as restrictions on who can get guns, the type of gun is also a thing.

Of course, your congress will vote against any attempt to dare change that. To dare put any restriction on. 'Cause gun nuts would rather see their own children gunned down before they lose their precious guns. Or at least it seems that way. I don't know whatever other way to explain what could be best described as complete, gun-crazed insanity.

Europe isn't the world, fucking dumbass.   :hahaha:

The highest gun ownership rates in Europe are in Scandinavia, which with the exception of Sweden in recent years (due to sand niggers), have the lowest crime rates in Europe.

So no, there's no direct statistical relationship between gun ownership rates and gun violence.

Wrong. Serbia has the highest gun ownership rate in Europe.

I love watching the gun-ownership = safety argument.  It's like watching bald people fight over a comb.

Ever got that feeling that you're trying to teach a dog a card trick?

I'd start believing the gun lobby if I saw them under the railway bridges handing out free guns to the poor and homeless.  Until then they're just practising the politics of "fuck you buddy".

The comb analogy is a good one, and sometimes feel similar when watching males reason within topics of violence. Males account for about 90% of homicide perpetrators, and about 80% of violent crime in general.

Does their gun ownership rate show a statistical relationship to firearm homicide rates?

If you live in high crime areas or in rural areas where the cops are half an hour away, you want a gun, specifically a semi-auto 12 gauge.

Why on earth would they do that? Didn't I just tell you the poor are the ones doing the killing?  :aff:

It is hilarious, agreed. They are advocating a tool specifically designed to kill people with and saying that society will somehow be a safer place if you have more of them.

Straw-man argument is straw-man.    :yawn:
