For those who argue that school shootings are a gun problem, it’s worth considering that in the aftermath of World War I, countless individuals had access to guns without experiencing these widespread, senseless acts of violence for no reason. Therefore, it’s clear that your argument has inherent shortcomings. Moreover, I believe altering gun laws could potentially lead to the establishment of a black market, encouraging individuals to seek illegal firearms, and resulting in an increase in overall violence.

    So honest question.

    Do you actually want to engage in discussion here or is this one of those “any attempt to question this makes you an evil idiot” things?

    Because there are multiple reasons this is a bad take.

            This is true. But that only works if arguments are made in good faith. Otherwise it’s a boondoggle.

                yeah not even close. More of the “the original point is such a bad take on so many fronts, its hard to really engage if the individual if they arent going to act is good faith”. And their last reply shows just that. Which is why I stopped replying. Ive been down the road enough to know when its not worth the effort.
