banning guns doesn’t actually reduce homicide rates if the nation has people who want to kill each other.

You’re right. I thought you were smarter enough to equate lower desire to kill to lower homicide rates.

My bad.

(or disregarding the hyperbole, way less people who want to kill each other, which is still unrealistic).

Then what is it? Why do these nations have lower homicide rates than other countries that have identical gun laws if it isn’t their culture?

And again, saying “because of their culture” makes no sense when countries with low homicide rates have drastically different cultures.

Okay buddy, there you go ignoring information that contradicts your argument again. Culture is more than just the desire to kill one another, lol.

Care to mention a first world country with no gun control and low homicide rates? Or one with gun control but high rates? Because if you find none I really think it’s not a “cultural issue”.

You’ve already admitted it’s a cultural issue when you specified ‘first world’. This means that you think there’s more to homicide rates than banning guns, which is exactly my point from the very beginning. It’s culture, not guns. You’re trying to cherrypick, again, by ignoring entire continents that go against your incorrect assertion that banning guns equates to lower homicide rates.

Anyways man, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that you’re just going to twist your brain into knots to avoid admitting when you’re wrong. I see it all the time, and the only winning move is not to play.

I’m gonna block you now. Have a nice day, and stay in school.

Dang, there you go thinking in absolutes because you want to avoid information that goes against your arguments.

You mentioned homicide rates. They’re not 0 on any of the continents you mentioned. Why are you arguing against me as though I think there’s no desire to kill in the nations you mentioned?

Homicide rates are lower in some nations than others, regardless of gun laws, because of their culture. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?

This is my point. You will avoid any information that contradicts what you want to believe and then get mad when people don’t live in your fantasy world.

So… what you’re telling me is it’s not just the guns. It’s their culture.

Interesting. I guess we can agree that banning guns doesn’t actually reduce homicide rates if the nation has people who want to kill each other.

I wouldn’t really call that “cherrypicking”.

Lol, so ignoring everything that goes against your argument isn’t cherrypicking? Dang. Stay in school, son.

Nice cherrypicking.

Thanks for supporting my point about living in a fantasy world, lol.

And surprise! They have one of the lowest homicide rates in the world.

It must be the guns, right? Not their culture? What about nations that ban guns but have higher homicide rates than Japan or even the U.S.?

Sad watching people like you type out a bunch of nonsense as though it’s true.

I guess that’s why people like you are so ‘up in arms’ about gun control; you’re living in a fantasy world where you think that criminals don’t have guns in other developed nations.

Sorry, you’re completely wrong and trying to change the meaning of words because you don’t like what they mean.

I see it all the time. Unfortunately, even saying something as objectively true and self-evident as “Zionism is religious nationalism” doesn’t sit well with zionists. That’s how much you people are trying to change the narrative, lol.

Glad you’re losing control, though. Gonna block you now.

Wrong. Zionism is the belief that Jewish people belong in the land of Israel.

you must 100% be aligned with the values of your new country.

Uh… no.

Zionism is religious nationalism.

They can all burn in hell.
