You claim that if gun control laws result in a decrease in gun murders and coresponding increase in other types of murders,
I haven’t acquiesced to that logic, I just haven’t confronted it. Why do you so conviently ignore this:
I am still waiting for an answer, and I will not be an idiot here I will fully state that my argument along with yours is a major logical fallacy being Post Hoc. So get a new argument, I know I have.
If you think that it's just as bad to be murdered with weapons other than guns, then how has the situation improved after the murders switch from guns to other weapons?
Firstly the amount of pain is not in question here, that is subjective and to one person he’d rather be stabbed then shot, or visa versa so that argument is based on nothing by subjective sensations and biases. Secondly with a gun you have no means of defense, he shots and you don’t have a Kevlar vest your one dead man, you cannot stop a bullet. A fist, sure you have a better then a fighting chance, with a knife you can outrun your potential killer, and you can defend yourself. A gun unto its own serves on purpose to kill, and it does it with “deadly” efficiency like it should. If we are to use your subjective, and unprovable measure, then all metallic instruments and even hands should be discarded. It’s nonsense.
I'll agree that if you only care about reducing gun murders but don't care about the total murder rate, then gun control can work.
Post Hoc, try again.
But when evaluating gun control laws, the only thing that most people really care about is whether or not it makes society any safer. Since gun control doesn't make society any safer, it seems rather pointless to me.
I have to see any proof of this argument then a logical fallacy based argument. Please try, or shhhhhhh….
I haven’t acquiesced to that logic, I just haven’t confronted it. Why do you so conviently ignore this:
I don’t care about the murder rate; the gun rate has gone up 30%! So it seems that the reverse logic is coming around, more and more people are using guns to kill then other “weapons” so lack of gun laws prove me correct. You are confused… gun rate, and murder rate are not synonymous
