> Yet more whataboutism and aspergic levels of specious reasoning.

I find this to be quite far away from the ideals of this site:

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Furthermore, using the name of a medical condition as an insult insults a whole group of unrelated individuals.

> Those two numbers are self-evidently not an unrelated random correlation - yet you seem to be claiming that they somehow are.

We have pointed out to you a number of exceptions that should raise serious doubts about the idea that gun ownership drives gun deaths. If this was the case then several countries in Europe would have similar problems, just on a smaller scale.
