but they still occur - as does suicide, and what makes you think you can guarantee that either won't happen?
Because suicide is a choice, and I control my behavior? Surely you must comprehend the difference?

and you can control your emotional state in the future or something?? you can control that nothing in the future is ever going to make you or someone who knows how to get access to your gun is ever going to feel suicidal?
Yes. I can control myself, I'm an adult. And the people in my household are emotionally healthy and will continue to be emotionally healthy.
well, congrats you magical unicorn - because literally no one else in the human race can guarantee the future emotional state of both themselves and their family hats off to you
So you honestly factor in suicide when it comes to owning things? Do you only have butter knives and keep an empty medicine cabinet?
So the suicide concern was just some bullshit you apply to items that go against your politics? Gotcha. I love your honesty.
no but i don't buy weapons that are 22 times more likely to kill me and/or my family than protect me that's for sure
I mean, this is pure gold. You lecture me about how basically everyone is at risk of suicide. You imply I'm negligent for not taking it into consideration with my purchases. And then when I ask you if you consider suicide risk with your other purchases, you immediately respond with no.
That's incredible!
ooooooooh you're applying the statistic to butter knives and medicine
well, when statistics are presented that people largely commit suicide with butter knives and that you're more likely to commit suicide with medicine than find it pertinent to your healthcare I guess those topics should be explored too?
but they're not, and it's absurd to suggest that they do.
guns on the other hand are.
you can't make false equivalencies and then frame it as a "gotcha" moment
well if you're just going to ignore my responses and repeat yourself there's really no more point to this
Is there something I failed to address?
I can't make much sense out of what you're saying here. Are you suggesting you'd need to see studies to confirm that people commit suicide with knives and medication?you didn't address either of my responses you just said "psych the butter knives were real sharp knives" even though the same thing I said applies to sharp knives as well and continued to claim i'm on some sort of high horse and unconcerned about suicide rates even though I've already stated that if there were any studies showing that those things attributed to people's harm that they should be discussed like guns are
Kill, harm, or threaten bad people who would hurt or kill my family. Yes. That's a good thing. That's why law enforcement officers typically have them. That's why the President's children are protected by armed guards.and you didn't touch at all on the fact that guns are weapons specifically meant to kill/harm and have no other purpose and that fact alone should make you consider its danger on whether or not it should be purchased.
not that you aren't allowed your opinion by any means, and the fact that you're a germaphobe makes the issue understandable certainly - i just find it ironic that you're a cat lover because when it comes to bites techs experience during work at the hospital it's cat bites and scratches that we worry about the most because their claws and mouths are actually THE MOST dirty things fucking ever
cat scratch/bite fever is a super real thing cats have sooooooo much bacteria
Dude... you literally missed my point about circumstantial evidence.
I know that it's too weak to build a case off of. But if someone came to you with a giant burn on their arm and told you their sibling spilled hot coffee on them, would you assume they were lying just because no one saw it happen? Either way, they still have an injury that needs treating.
Even in the scenario where a person craves attention enough to fake being assaulted, that kind of deep mental disturbance needs serious counseling. No one cries abuse for shits and giggles.
You're absolutely right, mate.Sorry if this breaks up the really serious discussion, but I wanted to add my own two cents.
Fortnite is an alright game, just too overrated for what it is. It isn't good enough for the publicity it's getting, imo. (probably biased because I don't even like battle royale-style games to begin with).
NAh Mate, they'd be too busy fortifying their positions to outfortify the other. Attacking detracts time from fortifying.Don't be silly, of course they could.
i dont think i can possibly even come close to explaining just how glad i am you said this.You know
Actually
I think I learned something new here????!!!!!!!
The mentality gun owners have when presented with a statistical analysis proving that it’s highly unlikely that a gun will help you in the event of some sort of attack and that it’s actually 22 times more likely that your family will be harmed by that gun that you purchased - they take and hold on to the notion that that’ll never never happen in their household because they believe themselves ABOVE that statistic
Because everyone thinks it’ll never happen to you until it does
colour me shocked I don’t know why I didn’t see it before. Welp, I don’t know how to proceed beyond waving that statistic around anymore so - I guess I won’t
It’s not like we really need to convince gun owners anyhow, even though it would be nice if they were on board too. Americans in favor of gun control are actually in the majority. It’s the NRA that needs contending with
My apologies for butting in on a conversation that I'm not a part of, but I figure that it's worth mentioning that the statistics you linked come from the Brady Campaign, which is known for padding and exagerating a surprising amount of its statistics. I can tell you now, after taking a quick look through the page you linked us to and doing a few minutes of further investigation, many of the statistics used are quite deceptive. Just thought that was worth mentioning before you pick those stats as your hill to die on.You know
