And then I was blocked. Wow, some people can't engage in simple arguments.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch You haven't provided any logical argument about how guns kill more per capita and thus, like cars, should be regulated like them.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch Tell me how I'm wrong.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch Am I wrong?

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch I'm not arguing less people die from auto deaths. Per capita guns kill more, and should be regulated like cars.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch Because cars kill a lot of people and thus, have been regulated. Guns kill more people per capita, but are not nearly as regulated.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch I believe we help alleviate drunk driving and mass shootings at the same time. The sad this is that no drunk driver is going around killing 30+ people at a time like the mass shooters are.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@DJLugoff @DLoesch Just regulate everything like they did in Portugal. All gang violence ended, government made millions and money went to hospitals, drug awareness, and overdose prevention. Overdoses declined dramatically.

@DLoesch Quotes a Bible Verse.

Supports weapons of death.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch How so? Look at how many people use a car each day vs a firearm. It's clear when factoring in deaths for both, per capita, guns kill more.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch But it should be illegal for someone to own a gun who hasn't undergone a background check, taken a written and practical test on how to use a firearm, paid for a permit, unable to own assault weapons, etc.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch Not when taking into account frequency of use. It's drastically different.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch Yes, I agree. That's why we should have laws regulating guns to act as a deterrent from jail.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch How many people each day use a car in comparison to a firearm everyday?

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch So the only purpose of laws is to put people in jail? They don't act as a deterrent for jail?

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch Automotive fatalities significantly dropped when added regulations like mandatory seat belts and road tests were added.

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch If that were the case, why make anything illegal?

[Facts Matter @FactsMatter6]

@Supergoodpixel @DLoesch I'd regulate the sale of alcohol, not ban it.
