>You said that cars are necessary because going to public transit would take time, but then turned around and tried to say that we should work toward removing guns because "It's a noble goal." Why can't we work toward removing cars? If they cause more deaths (the graph I linked) then we should work toward that too, shouldn't we?

Of course it's a noble goal to remove guns; that should be blindingly obvious. I never said we shouldn't work to remove cars; I would prefer we made public transport the norm while having cars be a thing on the side (though they need to continue making them safer).

>I supplied a link contradicting that, and you dismissed it because it wasn't "severe" enough. But you didn't say anything about severity. You just said people don't, and I proved they do.

... okay, maybe I overestimated your intelligence a bit. If you honestly thought I was saying that on the entire planet there had never been any significant knife deaths, I guess I should either phrase everything as if you're five years old, or maybe not bother talking to you at all. For the record (even though it's extremely obvious), the entire point here is that if you want to kill a bunch of people, people will generally—again, obviously—choose a gun over a knife.

>Cars weren't intended to be operated by an inebriated driver. You want to argue that driving a car drunk isn't misusing that car? Fine. Show me that cars were intended to be driven by drunk drivers, and I'll concede that driving drunk does not count as "misuse."

I don't care about arguing over definitions.

>Knives and cars kill a huge number of people, and despite that, we still permit people to have them.

You once again show you can't for the life of you keep multiple concepts in your head at the same time. They're not just made for recreational use and killing; they are necessary things. I've said this multiple times now. Here, go buy this, then practice reading that while taking a dump in the bathroom so that you can get also better at focusing on multiple things at once.

>if you disarmed everyone in the United States, we wouldn't magically become Norway.

Good thing I never claimed that.

> How things worked out for Norway really has no bearing on how things would work out in the US.

That's just absolutist idiocy. Are you a libertarian or something?
