mariogomez (04/10/2013) [-] Myth 6 states that people carrying guns are 10 times more likely to shoot a person who they are arguing with, than to stop a crime in progress, i.e defend themselves, or stop something else. So next time you start chatting shit to someone you meet irl, make sure he doesnt have a gun and he wont just kill you. Myth 7 is a dumb myth, they are looking at the cause and effect in the reverse order, i.e saying women are 4.9 times more likely to be killed in a state with higher gun rates. When in fact it means women are getting killed 4.9 times more, and women in those states are getting guns to protect themselves. Myth 8, well only counting gun murders, i am sorry but guns are the weapon of murderers, if i could choose between a knife and a gun, ill go for the gun, so will people if they are going to kill someone. and i dont want that. Myth 9 just shows the paranoia that people have, even though crime has gone rapidly down since the seventies, people are still hording more guns than ever. It shows the growing gun culture in redneck states. And these redneck states are where legal guns are sold to gun traffickers and those traffickers then move them into hard to get gun states like new york and so on. Myth 10 is so completely accurate, that you cannot argue against it. It is a joke. #246

mariogomez (04/10/2013) [-] Myth 1 is not irrelevant, one of the main fucking talking points about gun ownership is that they are going to take your guns. Legally they can't take your guns, because you acquired them while they were legal, therefor can't be taken away. Same reason why people who owned automatic rifles before the 1986 ban on fully automatic assault rifles still have them, because they were legal at the time. Myth 2 is not political spin, it shows clear statistics that states with guns have a higher death rate by guns than states without, you seem to just write it off as "oh they dont include everything" no one said guns are the main weapon in all killings, it just says that states with more guns, have a higher percentage of gun related deaths, i.e more people get guns, more people get shot. Btw looking at those states, red redneck states are at the top, which are also at the top for murders anyway. Myth 3 gives a clear cut view that people who have guns, even law abiding people tend to get into conflicts on their own more than none gun owners. Now this doesn't mean the gun is making them do it, it just speaks to their personalities. Myth 4 concealed carry permits have been around for ages, and it also in most cases of armed civilians getting involved with robberies having firearms tends to lead to a fire fight where the guy robbing the place winning the gun fight and the civilian getting other people killed in the process. And the thing about 1 in 5, that is still a huge statistic, just remember back to that courthouse where the guy took the gun from the security woman, shot the judge, the woman and then himself. That doesn't mean guns shouldn't be there just that they do tend to lead to people getting killed more often than the opposite. Myth 5 speaks for itself, if you cant understand that, that is your problem. | ||

| Myth 10: I completely agree that the system isn't as efficient as it could or should be, but adding regulations does NOT make it more efficient. That only makes problems worse. I would propose working on what we have in place now, making some additions but mostly subtractions from the regulations currently in place. Myth 1 is completely irrelevant. Myth 2 is a typical political spin used by liberals. By saying "Gun Death" instead of "Death," the writers of the article exclude the total murder rate and instead restrict it to guns only, because they know that total murder rates are higher in states and cities with gun restrictions The source provided on Myth 3 in the article gives no statistic for the "increase" in "obscene gestures."The article you provided made the statistic up. Also this only provides evidence on an isolated subject, not a total. This source can also show that gun owners are possibly more likely to be honest about their driving habits. It also makes zero sense that somebody is 4.8 times more likely to hold somebody up at gunpoint if they have a gun. That's a bullshit statistic that contradicts itself, and whoever wrote that should be fired. The "7-10% increase in homicides" describes an 8% increase in the number of homicides over a period of one year total. Not because of the Stand Your Ground laws. Myth 4: Firearms haven't been allowed in public places for a longer period than 30 years. 154 hospital incidents in a year. 1 in every 5 involve a weapon procured from a security officer. That amounts to 30.8 incidents per year. Over twice that number die by lightning strikes in a year. Myth 5: Another version of the spin. Of course owning a gun increases the chance of that gun killing you. But it does decrease your chance of dying period. Myth 6: Just because a gun is used doesn't mean another weapon will not. Basically what these facts are telling me is you're more likely to be shot if you're in a gang and happen to be carrying a gun. Myth 7: This completely ignores rape statistics, and only counts murders with firearms. More spin. Myth 8: I actually agree with this one, although the statistics presented show nothing, again only counting gun murders. Myth 9: Completely irrelevant to the topic of gun control. #247

mariogomez (04/10/2013) [-] I disagree, I refuted everything you said, and countered everything with brand new irrefutable arguments that you just seem to entirely ignore. You completely missed all my arguments. This clearly shows that you are of a lesser intellect than me, and you seem to be getting your information from the GOP and Glen Beck.

mariogomez (04/10/2013) [-] You're an idiot, guns cause more violence than they prevent, homicide rates are higher in countries with legal guns because of this fact. Assault rifles are more dangerous than hand guns, they fire at a higher rate. more accuracy, have a more lethal impact and can hit at a more greater range. It is for this reason the army uses assault rifles over hand guns when going into combat, the only time a handgun is more dangerous than an assault rifle is when the handgun is already out and is standing right next to you. I would say in 99% of cause when an assault rifle is pointed at someone it is in accordance with a crime and not self defense. www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_percap-crime-murders-per-capita I offered you the chance to look up the facts and try to refute me. You're fucking retarded for not doing so and instead spewing fallacious logic at me. You completely ignore my side of the argument, throwing everything you've heard at me. This shows me that you don't even understand the information you are throwing out in the first place. You're nothing more than a misinformed parrot. And don't try to act so informed. You clearly know nothing and have no intention of educating yourself, so I suggest you either grow up and learn how to read or do basic math, or quit trying to get involved in political discussion, which is obviously way over your head. Good day sir. #239

mariogomez (04/10/2013) [-] Considering that Jon Stewart is probably the informed political commentator in America, and the fact that he is quite a smart person, getting your opinions from him is a legitimate way of educating your self about the issues. If you're getting your news from Jon Stewart, you're only getting snippets of stories that his target demographic will like/agree with. He's a comedian. Hear the news, get the facts for yourself. You obviously don't understand anything but what you heard on TV. Half the shit that is spewed on TV or on the Radio or through any media is complete bullshit, or is so twisted that it isn't even information anymore. Guns prevent more violence than they cause. Homicide rates are higher in Countries with gun bans because of this fact. Assault weapons are NOT more dangerous than handguns. The only time an assault weapon is EVER more dangerous than a handgun is when the gun is already pointed at somebody, and I would say an upward of 90% of the time an assault weapon is pointed at somebody, it's in self defense. #115

Legally they can't take your guns, because you acquired them while they were legal, therefor can't be taken away. Same reason why people who owned automatic rifles before the 1986 ban on fully automatic assault rifles still have them, because they were legal at the time. Myth 2 is not political spin, it shows clear statistics that states with guns have a higher death rate by guns than states without, you seem to just write it off as "oh they dont include everything" no one said guns are the main weapon in all killings, it just says that states with more guns, have a higher percentage of gun related deaths, i.e more people get guns, more people get shot. Btw looking at those states, red redneck states are at the top, which are also at the top for murders anyway. Myth 3 gives a clear cut view that people who have guns, even law abiding people tend to get into conflicts on their own more than none gun owners. Now this doesn't mean the gun is making them do it, it just speaks to their personalities. Myth 4 concealed carry permits have been around for ages, and it also in most cases of armed civilians getting involved with robberies having firearms tends to lead to a fire fight where the guy robbing the place winning the gun fight and the civilian getting other people killed in the process. And the thing about 1 in 5, that is still a huge statistic, just remember back to that courthouse where the guy took the gun from the security woman, shot the judge, the woman and then himself. That doesn't mean guns shouldn't be there just that they do tend to lead to people getting killed more often than the opposite. Myth 5 speaks for itself, if you cant understand that, that is your problem. #166

N. Korean citizen (04/10/2013) [-] The FBI estimates guns prevent crimes about 2 million times per year, much much higher than the homicide rate, those countries have always had fewer gun deaths even before adopting gun control, and the average ar-15 round penetrates less than the average 9mm. #105
