@LadyDragonfly True, but it forgets to mention the devistating effect this has had in violent acts, and rape cases. They replaced the death of a child or two and traded it for tens of thousands of rape and other victims... Not really a win IMO.

@freemo @LadyDragonfly you can probably get people to not snap anymore by fixing social issues. you can't magically get rapists and other sociopaths - which always exist - to not rape or violate others anymore.

@bonifartius

Yes the solution absolutely lies in a combination of social problems and mental health accedd.

That said we can show that quite clearly when you start banning guns rape cases go up.. so there is a case to say that you can help prevent rape with better access to guns.

@LadyDragonfly

@freemo @bonifartius

Dude literally said banning guns in 1996 caused rape cases to go up in 1970 and sat back like he made a point 😳😆

@LadyDragonfly

Not sure what your smoking but said nothing of the sort.. the chart I posted clearly shows a trend of rape cases increasing int he years following 1996 with a huge increase in the rate of increase... What you said has no reality or connection in anything I said, try again.

@freemo @bonifartius

Read the linked article, come back after:

1. Reading
2. Understanding
3. Taking your meds

We can't have a conversation when one of us is straight up lying. (Pssst, that's you)

@LadyDragonfly lol, taking guns from lawful citizens and doing nothing with illegal arms - yeah, that's on @freemo in straight lying category

taking meds - very nice ad hominem attack (you definitely would know something about taking meds from first hand experience)
