(2,375 posts)Show us the data connecting the raw number of guns in the U.S. to the rate of gun violence. You simply ASSume a connection, purposefully avoiding the logical fallacy involved in doing so.
Edited to add for the logically challenged: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation
No, but your insistence on being able to own murder weapons has killed countless people.
Prove it. "Because I say so" doesn't cut it.......and only demonstrates your arrogance and dishonesty.
For any two correlated events, A and B, the following relationships are possible:
A causes B; (direct causation)
B causes A; (reverse causation)
A and B are consequences of a common cause, but do not cause each other;
A causes B and B causes A (bidirectional or cyclic causation);
A causes C which causes B (indirect causation);
There is no connection between A and B; the correlation is a coincidence.
Derp!
