If you have ever had someone tell you that guns cause crime, please read this article.
When anti-gun people are confronted with a few facts, they shut up and get a look on their face like they just shit in their pants. It’s funny. I’ve seen it happen. After reading this, you can do it to them, too.
I heard some twit on the radio a while ago trying to convince the listening audience that guns are the cause of all of the murder in America. Her opponent was arguing that violence in the media was the real cause of violence.
I find this type of thing fascinating, because it is all pure and utter bullshit, and the American public falls for it every time.
Two people who appear to be at opposite ends of the political spectrum (“left” versus “right”) put up a ‘fight” replete with interruptions, raised voices, name calling, etc…
The listeners get all riled up and call in vehemently supporting one side or the other. Of course, both of the debaters were intentionally misleading the audience by using “straw men,” which are fake targets set up for people to expend their energy knocking down in order to prevent them from seeing the true picture.
Guns cause shootings like airplanes cause hijackings. And while the media is a destructive influence, it cannot explain the crime rate.
For example: One of the women on the radio debate I heard was using 2 cities (Windsor, Canada and Detroit, Michigan) to prove that guns cause crime.
Her theory was that Detroit and Windsor are only a few miles apart and so the inhabitants of both cities had access to the exact same TV and radio shows, as well as the same cinema, and yet in 1999 there were 396 murders in Detroit while Windsor, being in Canada where there are no guns allowed, only had 8 homicides.
Well, I decided to do a little research, and I found out that Detroit has a black population of 82% while Windsor is only 2% black. Wow, that is simply f**king amazing, I thought it was the guns that caused all of that murder.
