    Comparing data from up to 9 years ago does not qualify. Filter it with data from the same year.

    Go for it!

    Find the US data from 2009 and compare it to Frances.

    Why, I'm fine with the data. The US is always going to be higher than France. (With exceptions during WWI and WWII, lol) You're the one trying to argue that it's not.

    So you're arguing that the unknown quantity of shootings that could have been prevented by stricter gun laws outweigh the events that did happen which would not have been prevented? It's hard to argue against some unknown quantity, that may or may not have happened.

    France is bombing Al-Raqqa, not to be confused with Al-Roker.

    Yes, I'm arguing that preventing some shootings is better than preventing no shootings. Seems pretty obvious.

    As soon as they invent time machines, we can go forward in time to figure out exactly what will happen under every circumstance and adjust optimally. Until then, we'll just have to make our best attempt.

    Preventing someone from yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater is better than preventing nobody. Cut out everyone's vocal cords. Seems just as "obvious."

    That's not a very good solution. It would be simpler and more effective to kill everyone in the theater to keep them silent. Otherwise they could play a recording of someone yelling fire.

    Your solutions are equivalent. They don't stand up to even a teenie bit of scrutiny.

    I don't know, but I suppose Paris pasted Houston in Homicides, probably trails Chicago though.

    And with that chart, how it reflects Sly's out dated census, these "gun free, high crime" areas boost our national figures. Go figure.

    No, the data is from 2012 so according to you it's shit.
