LOL!

But it's not up to you! It's a good thing too or most of us would be in the goulag.

0 points

If you did it that would be true. You should be nowhere near a firearm, for everyone's safety.

0 points

All true. If a person is suicidal, a gun increases their chances of follow through. The vast majority of people are not suicidal, in which case a gun has no impact on suicidality. The presence of a father decreases the likelihood that such emotional disturbances will arise.

Lol you compare firearms safety education to sprinkling anthrax on cereal. That's obviously an expression of phobia.

What affect does the presence of a gun have on someone's conscientious decision to kill themselves?

1 point

No, I maintain that the world is not ending. The sky is not falling. It's your consumption of nothing outside your echo chamber propaganda that makes you feel this is climate change denial.

Who even referred to you? Whoever you are. .

The likelihood of the event absolutely has to do with how many people have an event occur vs how many do not. Suicide is highly unlikely. For people who do not suffer suicidal ideation, the likelihood is zero, even if there's a gun in the home.

Your hoplophobia causes you to put a high degree of agency in inanimate objects.

0 points

The technical term for your condition is hoplophobia. You have an irrational fear of weapons.

These bigots are gun-phobic. .

"When did you stop hitting your wife" is an example of plurium interrogationum, or complex question. "The presupposition is a proposition that is presumed to be acceptable to the respondent when the question is asked."

Your example is literally included as an example on the source page.

The numbers aren't hard to search. Poverty doesn't paint a very strong argument for you because the numbers are close, even where women are higher than men. But I'm talking about being destitute, not poor.

"In 2020, about 69.6 percent of the estimated number of homeless individuals in the United States were male."

https://www.statista.com/statistics/962171/share-homeless-people-us-gender/

To pretend humans aren't the result of natural and sexual selection is anti-science. Humans are estimated to have existed for 6 million years. Civilization and agriculture has only been around for 10 thousand years.

The differences between men and women are small (though important) on average. But females tend to cluster more around the average than males, making the bell curve taller in the middle for women and longer at the tails for men. That explanation may be confusing unless you're familiar with the Greater Male Variation Hypothesis, which you can look up if you're curious.

As for your perception of media, that's merely a statement of your perception.

God damnit that's not an example of a straw man. How does everyone here get fallacies wrong so often?

1 point

I'm not sure you're getting this. Biology determines the gender.

I'm sure you weren't listening in sex ed. Sperm determines gender. It comes from the father. Whether a person is a boy or a girl depends on the father.

You're too fuckin stupid to continue this back and forth waste of my time.

1 point

Golly, 10 thousand sure does seem like a high likelihood kind of number... until you consider that's out of 168 million women. Lucky for me and my daughter I understand what unlikely looks like.

Men are unlikely to commit suicide too by the way. And if you have a gun in your home, it doesn't induce suicidal ideation. A gun should be a problem for you, because you should definitely have suicidal ideation. It's not for me or my daughter.

1 point

Yeah, biology. The father determines the gender. And females are very unlikely to commit suicide by any means, including the gun I give her.

0 points

Yeah, 30% of the country personally use a firearm. This is Pew data (pew pew haha). You're immune to facts.

Suicides are immaculate conceptions?

Wtf ?

More than 77 million Americans use guns. .

Well, suicides are twice as likely to be fatherless. And since I had her assigned a girl at birth, she is 7 times less likely to commit suicide. So my presence more than offsets the correlation of a presence of a gun with suicide.

Plus, chances of suicide are only about. .14% for everyone, let alone women who are far less. Tripling a miniscule number is still a miniscule number.

People can be of the same stripe and fight each other. Often they fight each other more than they fight those who are further from their disposition.

Bloods and Crips. Hells Angels and Outlaws. Iran and Iraq. Nazis and Commies. All are much the same as their bitter enemy.

If someone says things that resembles Nazi rhetoric, then that's what it is independent of who filled the ranks of the Hitler's army.

If you're evidence says that guns are worse while drugs are no better, then your evidence is contradictory.

Sure the top two causes of death are guns and drugs. But drugs account for almost twice as many deaths while guns kill just slightly more people than gravity. Some years, falls kill more than guns. All according to the CDC.

The chief purpose of a firearm is to kill. No doubt. That alone isn't an argument one way or the other

What do you recommend? Mandatory ownership? Maybe a program to help poor people purchase one?

You're not the one who claimed you shit the guy who got in your face while you were in a wheelchair, are you?

The home invasion would be a burglary, not a robbery

My presence in her life will more that counteract the presence of a gun. Which, by the way is mere correlation. You may find a person is 5 times more likely to commit suicide if they use vinegar as a cleaner in their home. Mere correlation.

I can be dangerous on occasion. I took up skydiving this year.

Webster isn't exactly a political publication. I guess unless you're a liberal. Liberals like to make up new, ridiculous definitions for things. Hey, what is a woman?

Because of the socially constructed nature of race, a person can board a plane in the US as a black person, and exit the plane in Brazil as a white person. They have a different notion of race there. A black person can be white.

It's hilarious that you think a man can be a woman but a black man can't be white. Race is for more socially constructed than gender expression. Pigment is far less consequential than sex organs and the resulting physical affects of them.

A 300 percent increase of a miniscule number is still a miniscule number

1 point

Sure there is a relationship. Drugs have a huge black market, which always comes with violence. If you look at the CDC data, you'll see that drug poisoning kills twice the people guns do. You'll also see that states with the highest gun deaths do not neatly overlap with states having the highest drug deaths.

Children should be given matches and guns and showed how to use them. Children are allowed to hunt alone in all 50 states.

1 point

You're talking about whores and matches, but you think I'm off topic?

Make a list of the things you have sufficient difficulty with.

(This will keep him off my back for days)

When my daughter is old enough, while still a child, I will certainly cause her to use a gun.

It's good that we recognized the problem with drugs. We banned them. No more conversation needed, right? Moving on to lesser problems...

0 points

There's no basis for the claim that illegal gun use is greater than illegal drug use. Perhaps gun use in general is greater than illegal drug use, but legal gun use isn't the issue.

I don't think the father of the dead college kid is reassured by the notion that their kid's death was peaceful.

1 point

You think we can ban guns but not tobacco? Haha ok. .

1 point

I asked for an age, not a stage.

Oh I see, you can't be a supreme person because you weren't even allowed to handle matches until you were legal to vote.

1 point

We aren't trying to compare like with like. I am demonstrating that all the talk about guns is under the pretext of minimizing or reducing impact. If that wasn't a false pretense, we would hear more about those things that have a greater impact, as drugs do by a long shot.

Lol all this attention because I said racial supremacists are the least supreme examples of their race, and you (for some reason) took it personally.

Norwich thought I was limping him with racial supremacists for no other reason than he is the least supreme kind of person.
