That's like arguing that we don't need a Navy because their accidental
death rate is greater than the number of enemies they kill. It deceptively
disregards their enormous but unquantifiable deterrent value, the main
reason for having the Navy in the first place.



What the left DOESN'T mention is that all suicides with a gun are counted as
homicides. They always want their numbers to look puffy.



Indeed. And suicides are generally the largest part as well.

Now..suicide can be said to being a black drug dealer taking on
another black drug dealer with a bigger gang.

Shrug

Just send truckloads of loaded AK's to Chicago and spread them on the
streets like salt. Within a week there would be no more gun violence!


I think you are wrong there.

It would take 3 weeks for the last street muchkin to be killed.

There are a LOT of them in that city.


But after a couple weeks, the ones left would be "smarter" - for
some values of "smart"
