    So the more guns there are the less gun crime

    That is not the claim

        A gun allows physically weaker people to defend themselves from physically stronger people

            In the example only the initial victim had a gun, presumably the ‘burliest of asailants’ was using physical strength as their weapon.

            No it is not, you are saying two completely different things.

            Does having a pilots livense reduce your likelihood of dying in plane crash?

            Vs

            Does having a pilots license give you the ability to be responsible for your own safety in plane?

            Two completely different things

              Yeah and we’re not talking about pilots or flying here so I don’t know what your point is.

              Their claim is that having a gun to defend yourself from someone with a gun works (more guns reducing gun crime), but that facts clearly show that gun control is the way to reduce gun crimes and having a personal defence gun is a liability and increases your risk of being a victim of gun crime.

                having a gun to defend yourself from someone with a gun works

                No, it’s that it grants you the opportunity to defend yourself, not that you can.

                (more guns reducing gun crime)

                That is not what that means. Nowhere is that claimed. Maybe ask ChatGPT to rephrase it for you.

                  You’re unable to come up with a response to my argument so you try to discredit me by claiming I used AI to write it?

                  That’s not just a lazy and unintelligent rebuttal but it’s just sad too.

                    Can you respond to something without a strawman?

                    That is not what I said. I told you to ask ChatGPT to rephrase the initial point for you. Y’know so you could understand it instead of strawmanning it.
