    Are guns legal in: El Salvador, Venezuela, Eswatini, Jamaica, Honduras, Guatemala, Brazil, and Columbia?

    All of those nations have higher firearm death rates than the US.

    If guns are illegal in any of the nations with higher firearm death rates than the US, then can you acknowledge that banning guns is not the only issue? Maybe culture has something to do with it?

    Go ahead and explain what you meant then. You can’t gaslight us when your words are literally sitting there three comments up.

      Here you go. Right here. Front-and-center. If you replace these exact words with anything else, then you are replacing my argument with something that’s easier for you to argue against.

      Let’s see if you can avoid doing it for the 3rd time in a row.

      Edit: I gotta go now, but it’s painfully obvious that you “can’t acknowledge that banning guns is not the only issue” because you think it is the only issue. This is why you have to replace my argument with something that’s easier to argue against. You know I’m right, but afraid to admit it.

        None of what you’ve quoted matters as the entire start of that comment was so flawed. Your argument has no ground to stand on, is clearly being made in bad faith, why should any of us give it any respect?

        Culture being a factor in violent crime is neither here nor there. That’s a nonsense whataboutism argument in this context.

        Yes, other factors besides gun ownership also increase the rate and severity of violent crime, but so does gun ownership.
