Guns are specifically designed to kill: the logic error behind the whole gun debate
It delves into the logic and logical fallacies in the gun debate (and by, extension, other political debates, but I am glad it's focus is firearms, because, duh.)
It quotes James Wright (1995) inside: "gun ownership is normative, not deviant, behavior across vast swaths of the social landscape."
Some of the inconvenient-to-gun-confiscators gun research.
The money quote is this though:
"There are 423 million guns in the US. Each year, about 14,500 of them are used in a murder. Those are extensively studied, and that’s good. So now is a good time to start studying the other 99.9965721%."
And that's why gun manufacturers shouldn't get sued because of shootings: Because they are functioning exactly as designed.
ReplyDeleteCar makers, OTOH, should have been sued out of existence decades ago.
