banning guns doesn’t actually reduce homicide rates if the nation has people who want to kill each other.

You're right. I thought you were smarter enough to equate lower desire to kill to lower homicide rates.

My bad.

(or disregarding the hyperbole, way less people who want to kill each other, which is still unrealistic).

Then what is it? Why do these nations have lower homicide rates than other countries that have identical gun laws if it isn't their culture?

And again, saying “because of their culture” makes no sense when countries with low homicide rates have drastically different cultures.

Okay buddy, there you go ignoring information that contradicts your argument again. Culture is more than just the desire to kill one another, lol.

Care to mention a first world country with no gun control and low homicide rates? Or one with gun control but high rates? Because if you find none I really think it’s not a “cultural issue”.

You've already admitted it's a cultural issue when you specified 'first world'. This means that you think there's more to homicide rates than banning guns, which is exactly my point from the very beginning. It's culture, not guns. You're trying to cherrypick, again, by ignoring entire continents that go against your incorrect assertion that banning guns equates to lower homicide rates.

Anyways man, it's becoming increasingly obvious that you're just going to twist your brain into knots to avoid admitting when you're wrong. I see it all the time, and the only winning move is not to play.

I'm gonna block you now. Have a nice day, and stay in school.
