261. More enlighted civil discourse on your part
I live on "the streets", pal. I don't live in some sprawling suburb or rural idyll. I live in one of the highest-density neighbourhoods in Canada, composed of tightly packed largely substandard housing and little green space, with druggies and hookers and assorted other characters all around.

Ask the local constabulary if they too are "absolute certain" that no 15yo gang member has a gun in your town. I will go out on a limb and say they will not concur with your unsupported assessment.

Well, we'll put you in the "born bad" group then.
I did not say "born bad", you have tried to put those words in my mouth. Again I will point out that for someone so insistent on exact quotes, you seem very willing to play fast and loose with others words.

There are those who have claimed/inferred/indicated/alluded to the concept that without guns violent crime would decrease, or without a gun a particular crime or another would not have occurred. Do you know anyone who might have said something along those lines?
