re: #338 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

I’m saying in my ideal world, we’d have very strict gun control laws. I’m not saying that we should do this now, or move towards it—in fact, I said the exact goddamn opposite.

It doesn’t matter if you disagree with me, it matters if you can answer why you disagree. I am saying that if you lock up a violent gang member, then that creates a ‘job opening’ for another violent gang member. That guy served a purpose, a role, in the gang economy. Real-world observation shows us that when we arrest members of a gang, violence does not drop in an area, and indeed that those roles simply get filled, either from the local population or from an external gang moving in.

Good thing you just made that up and I didn’t do that, then. Seriously, what the fuck, dude? Why make up shit like this?

“In your ideal word”. Does that world have a 2nd amendment?

What I did was turn over your coin, that is to say your statement is locking them up won’t help. okay, by that logic, don’t lock them up. Waste of resources then. But then that young kid comes up and then you have the older and the younger killers in action. The gang economy does not lay off or hiring freeze to cut excess labor.

I disagree for reasons I gave. Gang violence can be reduced by good law enforcement. I followed your logic. Did you really mean it won’t solve the problem rather than it won’t help at all? I could see that. I would wholeheartedly agree. Each aspect plays it’s part. Economy, density, police actions or priorities…
