Reply #89: You're assuming that guns cause crime. [View All]

You're automatically assuming that without access to a gun, those people wouldn't have committed suicide, instead of simply choosing an alternative route like pills or jumping off a building.

You're also assuming that those people who killed a family member were friendly, happy people until they picked up a magical killing machine and it forced them to commit a crime with it. Because apparently no one who lacks access to a gun ever kills a family member by beating, strangling, knifing, or other methods.

Now, if you were interested in legitimate scientific process, you'd check the suicide rate in households owning guns to the suicide rate in homes of equivalent income, region, and culture, that don't own guns. To see if there was a variance. But you're not interested in facts, only in spin.
