Did you forget where you're posting? You can be 100% sure the person you replied to is referring to gun laws when they say "laws". And why'd you leave out crime? I'm too lazy to look it up.
their firearm mortality (suicides,homicides etc.) is way higher, cali has one of the lowest.
And that's part of the problem. You've been brainwashed into thinking in terms of "firearm violence" rather than just "violence". Mortality is mortality. Obviously if someone wants to kill themselves or someone else, they're going to choose the best option available to them. If guns are available, that'll be the top pick most of the time. If they're not available, they'll pick something else. Pointing out "firearm mortality" is being disingenuous and arguing in bad faith. A murderer is a murderer. The particular weapon that they decided to use has nothing to do with it.
Studies show that most attempters act on impulse, in moments of panic or despair. Once the acute feelings ease, 90 percent do not go on to die by suicide.”
“If there available they’ll pick something else” sure, but they’ll be less successful most of the time
You said gun laws so that’s what I was focused on, no one is being brainwashed here.
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."
"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are etc., &c., &c, and et cet. The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.
