    Ah yes, because banning guns means they cease to exist.

    It’ll take a while to clean up, but ultimately remove the market for guns, and the perceived social status from owning a gun, would reduce this issue over time.

    But when it comes to America I’d reckon it’d be a rather slow process. One that simply starts by removing the availability of new guns on the market.

    I helped you by putting some of my words in bold.

    That’s how criminals in countries like the UK manage to get their hands on guns despite guns being banned.

    Yes, the UK. Infamous for all it’s gun crime.

    It’s like comparing apples and oranges.

    No, it’s comparing smarter humans to backwards primitives.

    You know, for a second you had me thinking you were something more. But you turned out to be a cliché American anyway…

    Ah well…

      Your comment quite quickly devolved into an ad hominem. If you had a strong argument against anything I said, you would have used it.

        It’s not an ad-hominem if people like you are the reason why a problem continues to be a problem. Considering the position you have chosen to take, my argument can no longer be against the subject itself exclusively, but is also directed against you personally.

          “It’s not an ad hominem”

          “My argument can no longer be againt the subject itself exclusively, but is also directed against you personally”

          That is the literal definition of ad hominem. You just contradicted yourself. Well done.
