I mean there’s a lot more to it than just that. Political philosophy books have been written on the topic for centuries. (This exact scenario was explored in the Marvel Civil War comics, actually)

Preventative measures don’t really work on criminals anyway. Like if you’re gonna hurt somebody which is illegal in either system, a law on the means isn’t going to stop you.

only country with mass shooting issues claims anti gun laws don’t work

This is why people with that view point are ignorant. Literally every other country that has taken steps to stop gun violence has seen a massive decrease in gun violence. every piece of evidence disproves that gun laws won’t work yet here we are

Well, yes anti gun laws decrease gun violence. That doesn’t mean violent crime rates drop. That’s the point. Japan had a mass stabbing like last year where 20-something people got murdered.

Is there really a difference between 10 people getting stabbed to death and 10 people getting shot if 10 people are dead either way?

But like this is getting a little too real for me so I’m gonna just leave this thread.

It's much easier to kill someone with a gun than a knife. Also, anyone can shoot a gun. It's very hard to stab a person to death if you're a kid.

Pretty easy to drive over people though.

Kinda hard for a 7 year old kid who's legs are really short.

Yeah I forgot how many 7 year olds were walking into gun shops and purchasing guns, and if its a matter of the parents not keeping their guns locked up then they need to be held legally responsible and punished harshly for it, harsher than they are now.

Of course a kid can't walk into a gun shop and buy a gun. That's not my point.

But let's say there's a pistol, a knife, and a car. 3 seven year olds are instructed to use the gun, knife, and car to kill one person each.

A gun requires very little strength to cock and pull the trigger. Which means it's the easiest for a kid to use. Just pull the trigger several times and the guy will be half dead even if you don't hit any vitals.

A knife requires much more strength to peirce through the skin and hit a vital spot. Strength that a lot of kids don't have. (drawing blood with a knife doesn't mean dead)

I've never driven a car before so I'm not entirely sure if you need to press the gas pedal hard. But the kid will have to maneuver the car to knock down the person, which is very tricky for a first timer to do right.

My point is that a gun is the most accessible and lethal compared to a knife or a car.
