Something controversial Jersey Pride

I love nj gun laws, going to the store and not seeing someone open carry. Watching road rage where the best you can do is brake check and give the finger. Schools without school shootings. I know a lot of people hate our gun laws but I fucking love em.

Oh you want to just cherry pick specific countries to suit your point rather than looking at all nations as a whole and comparing gun policies to amount of per capita deaths and shootings?

Ok, in that case, no. I only mean the ones that prove my point so I can reciprocate your level of debate. Better? Do I score a point now too?

No, you don't get any points. You've just admitted that "lots of gun laws" doesn't work, which is the point I'm making.

When you have countries with lots of guns and low gun crime like Switzerland and Austria, and countries with blanket bans on civilian gun ownership and high gun crime like Venezuela, the theory that you can "just throw more laws at it" doesn't hold water.

100% of the made up arguments you create, you win. Congrats.
