In reply to the discussion: I'm okay with violent felons owning guns after they serve their sentence... [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)50. still making an argument based on emotion and
logical fallacies. Mine is based on facts, evidence, and reason backed up with decades of peer reviewed and verified criminology studies. You are simply repeating the standard talking points.. AS for ideologue, you are projecting.
Even though guns - and no other weapon - kills thousands of kids a year
"kids" is appeal to emotion, another logical fallacy. If you look up the suicide statistics, you will find that ropes kill thousands a year. If you look through the FBI UCR, you will find that knives do too. Oh, heroin kills even more. That is before we get to the other opiates and drugs like cocaine.Edit history
