If More Guns = More Crime Police Wouldn't Carry Them

So why not provide it?

One for one. Evidence for a position you support you have not provided yet and then I will provide evidence for you. If you ask....be prepared to give

I trust you will hold up to your word. What position have I made that I didn't provide evidence for? Once I provide evidence for the position I hold, you will provide evidence that registration works?

What solution to gun violence would you like to provide evidence for? You have only prevented one solution that doesn't work currently anywhere. What else have you got?

You're the one that asked me to provide evidence for a position that I haven't provided yet. How can I possibly know which position you felt I haven't provided evidence for?

Well you are big about asking people to support their positions with evidence. I think we deserve the same in return

And I all too happy to provide such evidence. What position do you want me to back up?

That is not a solution to our current gun violence problem

Sure it is. The more law abiding people armed, the less gun violence they'll be. Now, I've held up my end of the deal, now you hold up yours. What evidence do you that registration is the solution to gun violence.

Hey, you asked me to provide a claim and provide evidence to said claim. In return you said that you will provide evidence for your claim that registration works. 1v1, remember? So what evidence do you have that registration works?

Places that have it have lower gun deaths. NYC, Hawaii, California, Canada......etc

Places without it also have low gun deaths. Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming......etc.

So what evidence do you have that the states you listed have low gun deaths because of gun registration? That's what I'm really asking for.

Now you are just lying. Those places have huge gun deaths. Alaska has the highest gun death rate in the country. If you are going to be honest your posts will just be dismissed. My evidence is much better than yours

You're right, I thought my link was in reference to all gun deaths. In fact it only deals with gun violence. However, I wasn't lying. I simply misread a statistic which BTW I was only wrong about Alaska. All the other states I've mentioned had low gun violence. However even with your standard, out of the top 10 states with the lowest gun deaths, 5 of them don't have any registration requirement at all. Minnesota, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Iowa all have low gun deaths yet they don't have registration. So what evidence do you have that registration is the cause for low gun deaths?
