A better idea would be to ban public schools and instead give education vouchers
to parents to send their kids to the school of their choice. But then the
lefties wouldn't be able to indoctrinate young minds with their propaganda.

There is a reason young people tend to be liberal and grow more conservative as
they get older. The public schools have filled their impressionable minds with
left wing mush and it often takes many years of real world experience before
they learn what crap they were fed in school. Sadly, some never figure it out.

As is the case in all businesses, the free market culls the losers and the
strong survive. Consumers vote with their dollars. If private schools were so
bad, why do wealthy people choose to send their kids to them instead of the
public schools. A voucher program allows everyone the same choice. Of course
there will be underperformers as there are in any business but they won't last.

Where does the Constitution guarantee a right to be free of fear?

You ARE aware that threatening anyone with a gun is already a crime, right? If you weren't lying,
all of these "threateners" would be facing criminal charges now.

If socio-economics is a cultural thing I'd agree with you. If you look

Further, if a country has a "solid rule of law" then would it really matter
what the gun control laws are?

It would seem to me that it shouldn't matter since they are already strongly
engaged in controlling the cause of all crime.....criminals. As such whether
guns are legal or not wouldn't seem to have much impact since the country is
already taking the criminals into custody and those people left, the law
abiding, generally aren't going to misuse the guns for crime anyway.

Except when the previously law abiding citizen gets tanked up or has an
argument with the spouse or a neighbour or stranger and pulls out an
effective and efficient killing tool. Should we also talk about the
correlation between having access to a gun and suicide?

So what you're telling me is that gun control is NOT the solution to violent
crime, but rather a strong rule of law is. Which I admit the US is lacking
due in large part to the same idiot liberals who are pushing gun control as
the solution to violent crime.

Which exist in multitude in any household, and such occurrences are pretty
rare. So, again there is no real need to impose gun control. Since by your
own admission the objective isn't to target criminals, but rather the law
abiding in the HOPE that in such a rare fit of insane rage they won't grab a
knife, club, length of cord or any of a multitude of weapons that can be
used to kill in such a fit of rage. Excuse me, but that seems rather
authoritarian for my tastes and it's almost as if you are treating people as
if they were already criminals particularly when the overwhelming majority
never will be such a criminal.


> Should we also talk about the correlation between having access to a gun
> and suicide?

Go right ahead, because plenty of research has established that serious
suicide is means independent and if one means isn't available another lethal
means can and will be readily substituted. So the most you can do is show a
correlation in which may show a preference for one means over another, but
what you can't show is that controlling that means will alter the suicide
rate. If you can't establish causality then you can't assert that gun
control would have any impact.

After all if gun control were the solution then Japan wouldn't have one of
the highest suicide rates in the world at 19.7 per 100K while the US is way
down at 12.6 per 100K

Nope, if guns were the cause of suicide then the US should lead the world in
suicide rates. But we don't.

So go ahead show us your correlation and then make the false assertion that
the correlation is at all meaningful because of whatever causality you try
to imply exists.

Oh, I agree the US has a lack of the rule of law, and our crime is
increasing because of it.

But gun control doesn't fix the problem of a poor rule of law.

Rather it would be someone pushing a political agenda with crime as the
excuse.

Nice assertion, but I note the lack of any proof of causality.

Further I note you don't address the issue of whether it’s the strong rule
of law that actually saves lives with or without gun control.

It's enough to note they are looking at a correlation and one which looks at
states as a whole rather than with a more focused approach.

Because in 54% of US counties there was a ZERO homicide rate in 2016.

And 2% of US counties comprised 51% of the homicide rate, and 5% comprised
68% of the homicide rate.

So I really doubt that you're going to find that strong gun control is
associated with a reduced homicide rate unless you open it up to state wide
levels to dilute the hot spots where homicides are really taking place.

As far as suicides are concerned, and I bet they are the KEY factor in
producing the correlation noted making the homicide issue a moot point but
including it is great for implying a false implication, all the correlation
shows is that where more people have guns, more people are likely to use
guns when engaged in serious suicide. Which when you think about it, really
doesn't tell us anything we don't already know. The guns don't cause them to
be suicidal and it's not like the individual couldn't and wouldn't simply
switch to an alternative highly lethal method if guns weren't around.
Further, the research presented shows that serious suicide is deemed to be
means independent.

So....other than a correlation produced by suicides who are more likely to
chose a gun if one is around and the implied implication that murderers
would do the same, NONE of which shows or even implies causality.

So why would we think that gun control would have ANY impact on that, or
that should an impact occur that the individuals involved wouldn't simply
switch to a similarly lethal means?

No, your fly by hit piece really doesn't show anything that would indicate
the gun control saves lives. At most it might influence means, but unless
you think that people are less dead because they were killed with something
other than a gun.....what are you after?

It's not hard. It follows a simple basic pattern

1) He asserts guns or gun control cause this or that
2) I ask to see the study showing the causality asserted
3) He denies ever saying there was causality
4) Wait a random time
5) Return to step 1.

Steps 4 & 5 are now taking place in the background and we will see the
return to step 1 in a reasonably short period of time.

Sure and the data also shows that in a household with a deadbolt you are
even more likely to be murdered than in one without.

So what’s your point?

Do you think having a deadbolt lock causes you to be murdered?


Hey, here's a notion....people who live in high crime areas, and/or are at
greater risk of being the victims of violent crime are more likely to have
deadbolts or a gun.

Gee, who would ever think of that. A correlation without any direct
causality.

Nope, I told you it's out there. If you're truly interested then you can
find it yourself. If you're not, then that shows me your argument isn't
about suicides isn't about knowing the facts, but merely as an excuse to
push your political agenda.

Really? Can you show me the causality, or are you simply asserting a
correlation that doesn't mean anything?

After all, you're also more likely to die from suicide if you drink. You're
also more likely to die from suicide if you're a man.
You're also more likely to die from suicide depending on your age.

So do you think your gender, drinking or age is going to cause you to commit
suicide?

Then you should have no problems producing them, because no one else has
been able to establish such causality. Indeed a few years ago there was a
study that collected a whole pile of studies to see if such causality could
be shown to exist. They couldn't find it. But I'm sure you're so much
smarter than they were.

The Constitution DOES NOT guarantee a RIGHT to a public education.

Public education is a PRIVILEGE meant only for normal children, NOT guntard offspring who are a threat to public safety

Irrelevant. Where does the Constitution guarantee a right to be free of fear?

What I find hilarious is that these are the same arguments put up by the

smokes die of smoking related illnesses it is only a correlation

Guns don't cause you to commit suicide but you have a greater risk of
dying from suicide with an access to guns

It is a fact backed up by numerous studies which I have cited many times

That's just what I thought when *you* said it.

I'm not about to teach Mr Australian-Expert-On-All-Things-American current American society. If
you're unfamiliar with Black Lives Matter and NAACP, maybe you should just refrain from typing.

You seem to think Obama's election ended the Professional Victims playing the race card.

So, the fact that you're more likely is utterly meaningless because there is
no causality, and the correlation might be the result of other facts, or it
could just be a statistical anomaly.

There for your implication that this correlation is at all relevant is
dismissed.

Neither have you........but that didn't stop you from posting.

Meanwhile, the question doesn't need to data or a mechanism of action in
order to answer, the question is what your opinion would be on the situation
indicated.

Surely you know your own opinion and you don't need someone else to tell you
what it is, or do you?

The data was in the study I cited and the mechanism of action is that

I prefer to base my posts on data and I have none on the correlation
between deadbolts and murder or strawmen and murders
