Gun laws are probably not going to matter if the guns are still available. You gotta get rid of the guns as well. And also the poverty of course.

But would you oppose my knife argument? Say there are no guns. Ever. Anywhere. What would happen in the streets? Would there be as much killing?

since you can't prove a counterfactual, we will never know

I'm not sure what you mean by that. What do you want me to provide, exactly?

[–] nsrxn@mstdn.social 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

you can't know what would happen in a world where there were never guns. I'm not asking for anything. I'm pointing out we can't possibly know what such a world would look like

I'm not asking for definite knowledge, I'm asking what this other person thinks would happen. Thanks though.
