    Is it subjective if data tends to say otherwise and it still gets ignored?

    Yes. Because you can argue things like reduced guns will lead to reduced deaths, and therefore it’s an objective good, but that relies on neglecting things like cultural ties.

    The stupid thing is the second you start talking about gun bans effecting Native hunting culture suddenly there’s respect and understanding.

    Sorry I’m not really explaining myself well but I gotta get back to work.

      Yes but if the data also shows that a more thorough background check before allowing a person to purchase a gun results in lower deaths, shouldn’t that be considered too?

      Data adds to support your argument. It doesn’t make the argument. It’s too easy to cherry pick information as you’ve shown.

      Out of curiosity, how is the argument to ban guns different from the argument to ban access to fetal abortion practices?

      The ban on guns is heralded as the beginning of the end if passed, but abortions seem to be the same unless they’re explicitly banned.
