So how would you reduce gun suicides?
Education. For many problems, education is the answer. Let me guess, that's not reasonable in your view...
I've asked three times how you would reduce gun deaths, and you've not given an answer.
There it is, the predictable doubledown. Misrepresenting the facts, AGAIN. What you've done, is tried to distract attention away from this disgusting hypocritical statement, made by you:
If thousands of people have to die from guns every year in this country, I'd much rather it people like this...
And what you're doing now, is pretending that you asked three times, and were never given an answer, which is a blatant lie.
On top of that, you haven't addressed just about anything I've said to you in this thread, and now you're demanding that I answer your questions? Holy entitlement batman. If I were you I'd be feeling embarrassed right about now.
Yes, I hate guns.
No, really?
And I never see any reasonable solution proposed by those who favor gun ownership.
I guess focusing on suicides is unacceptable to you then huh? Tell me more about how 'every single gun death is unacceptable', while you ignore the obvious facts about them. Maybe its just me, but "every single gun death is unacceptable" doesn't mesh very well with "If thousands of people have to die from guns every year in this country, I'd much rather it people like this..."
Lots of solutions are proposed, the problem is, none of them are 'reasonable' in your view because you hate guns and want them confiscated.
I don't shrug my shoulders.
Every time you refuse to focus on gun suicides, that's exactly what you're doing - shrugging your shoulders. Everyone can see it, even people on your side of the issue. The truth of the matter is obvious.
Put plainly, nobody is being fooled anymore.
I hate every single unnecessary death from them.
Uh huh:
If thousands of people have to die from guns every year in this country, I'd much rather it people like this...
Yeah, I can tell.
And until those who are fine with gun ownership can start to propose realistic solutions, then the one I propose is confiscation.
You hate guns. You want guns confiscated. Nothing less will ever placate you.
In other news, water has been scientifically proven to be wet...
Debate aside, heres some free advice:
If you can not debate your position honestly without misrepresenting the arguments of your interlocutor, and flat out lying about things your interlocutor has said, then either your position is incredibly weak, or you have a personal problem with honesty in debate, or both. And worse, for you, its as obvious as the nose on your face - everyone can see it for what it is, except perhaps you.
