RE: More Guns
This has turned out to be a super informative post about something I didn't really know that much about! Obviously this is a bit of a hot topic, and always will be.
You both make really good points.
"the US is the safest place on the planet.." ......ummm...aahhhh...yeah...thats a tough opinion to get on board with! haha....But yes, I do understand what you mean by if you remove Chicago and Baltimore (ridiculous violence, altho I had no idea Baltimore was that bad)
....but "that might be why there are so many people trying to get here." - THIS is a whole nother post in itself! Probably an interesting one as well.
I'm Canadian, so immigration and it's laws are also a great topic to debate! Touchy subject for a lot of people...but a great debate!
I'm glad you posted this article.
thank you
it has problems.
for one thing it's a multi-variable analysis.
is it guns?
or sugar?
really.
if some ingests too much sugar they get (bad things happen)..
then again...
is it guns...or TV
really...TV causes brain damage..
is it guns..
or..
what?
or all of it.
it's a HUGELY multivariable analysis.
and don't forget the monkeysphere.
touche. I probably wouldn't have thought of it in that way had you not just mentioned it. And guns are a subjective topic. Sugar, tv...those are objectively bad!
and a hundred, a thousand other things...
no way of telling what's the cause.
and what's the result.
