thanks alot daywolf
No you are inverting. Um... urban deaths are counted, but not distinguished from others, and I'm speaking more of population densities and the magnet of criminals to such areas. Just as much as suicides are counted, just all thrown into the pot and blamed on guns. Or say if you found yourself on the defensive end of a home invasion robbery, and you shot the guys before they shot you. Well that is just tossed in as a statistic of a gun crime etc.

After all, I grew up around LA. F-ing gunshots all the time, shootings and deaths. I was shot at a number of times as well, as well as knives pulled on me, assaults on me, chased by gangs, even chased by stupid cops. I got the hell out during what they called "white flight". Where I live now, it's only just starting to creep in (too many people now), that stuff again, and soon I'll move again to somewhere with low population density. Cities suck, period. Want less gun crime? spread out and own guns.

I agree, it is a jungle. For all intensive purposes we live in a PvP environment. Would you run around red99, unarmed? Only here though, we have a perma-death system, in which there are lasting consequences to wanting to be an aggressor. Still, there are plenty of victims, but often the case they allow themselves to be the victims by choosing to enter gun free zones and being an easy target.

Only bars I've gone to are cowboy bars. What nutjob is going to try to gun down a bunch of gun loving cowboys like this? Nah, they go after liberal soft targets, where their actions will likely not be challenged, and may even make it out alive, themselves.

All raw data is (or may be) correct. But interpretations are often wrong. There is no place for one raw all encompassing figure in this matter, as is often presented as for the purposes of ideological gain.

Agh the grammar police are here! You know what I meant.

"For all intensive purposes (for all intents and purposes)

For all intents and purposes is the usual form of the phrase meaning in every practical sense. For all intensive purposes is a fairly common eggcorn derived from the original phrase. It’s often heard in speech, but it’s rare in published writing because it generally doesn’t pass through the editorial process."http://grammarist.com/eggcorns/for-all-intensive-purposes/
You offering to be my editor? I'm just a writer, not paying for an editor to post in a elf sim forum [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I've used both in the past, you're the first one to call it out.

Arguing? I prefer to call it debating. Though, we don't have formal debates here in this forum, it's more an exchange of ideas. I think your ideas are dumb btw [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
