I never claimed that guns were not highly lethal. Reading comprehension FAIL!
What i said was that a gun's lethality means that the user rarely has to pull the trigger. This is true regardless of whether the gun is used offensively or defensively, with the obvious exception of criminal on criminal gun violence - which makes up 66% of the total.
And your "nuanced" actually means "made up shit".
Laughable, considering it's you who "goes from the gut" rather than empirical evidence. Try something brand new, "Logical". READ A BOOK rather than relying on ignorant/misinformed media bloviators.
But for anyone to say murders would not go down with no guns means they are so biased that they are not to be taken seriously.
So who ever said that? Point to when and where it was said, "Einstein". Why even bother bloviating on what "no guns" would mean since it's never going to happen? Bringing up these distractions only proves how little you really care about the victims of gun violence, because folks who care don't give a damn about anything but pragmatic questions.
Finally.....to address your first "point": It obviously makes no sense to give guns to criminals of any type because data demonstrates that killers escalate to murder after a long series of less serious crimes. It's only your ill logic that can come up with such infantile horsesh*t. Again, by virtue of the bankruptcy of your position you have to stuff words in the mouths of others.
