You say my post is a logical fallacy but trying to explain gun issues to gun fetishists isn't a logical fallacy it is a chronological fallacy, that is, a waste of time. You say I state as facts things that are not facts but you don't tell me what facts are not facts, so I take it you can't remember what they were. You say there isn't anything of enough value to respond to, then you respond with your witty and compassionate analysis of my post. I thank you from taking time away from your busy day to show us all how your mind works. It's fascinating.I do think we put too many people in prison for too long for some crimes. A large part of the prison population is serving time for non-violent drug offenses. Locking them up, along with the guys who are behind in child support, couldn't pay a fine, embezzlers etc. don't use guns, may not even own guns. Their incarceration has no effect on the process that turns legal guns into illegal guns.I take it you're in favor of not putting criminals in prison. Go figure.What is your source for the statement that "most gun crimes are committed by people with extensive criminal histories"?You stop legal guns from turning into illegal guns by keeping criminals in prison where they belong. Most gun crimes are committed by people with extensive criminal histories.
We already have the highest incarceration rate on the planet and it is costing us billions. How many more people must we lock up to stop the use of guns to commit crimes?
You have tried to deflect the issue away from the lax gun laws that allow illegal guns to be created from legal guns effortlessly. The criminal justice system has nothing to do with gun show loopholes, fuzzy background checks, trivial dealer licensing etc. etc. I know why you don't: you can't. It's been a lot of fun anyhow...
Your entire post there is logical fallacy. You state as fact things that are NOT fact, and move on from there. There isn't even anything of enough value to respond to...none of it is true.
You've sourced nothing, and you jump from one lie to the next, as if you've actually made a point. You haven't. The whole concept that most of the people in prison shouldn't be there is just so much garbage. The reason gun crime is such an issue in our inner cities is because we DON'T imprison people long enough. Almost all gun crime is perpetrated by KNOWN CRIMINALS. That is, people with past convictions. If they were still in jail, they wouldn't be shooting up their neighborhoods.
