@eberhofer sadly no. There is a lot of research that supports various facts that are often manipukated and claimed thry support the argument at hand, when in fact they very much dont.

Take your argument. You are tryi g to claim a causative relationship, yet are not showing data that even remotely demonstrates causation and woukd be dismissed quite quickly by a data scientist to call that out.

We **do** have tools as data scientists to show causation and build that evidence (like granger causality) and you will always find such data, needed to actually show the point you are trying to make, as missing.

@msafaksari tha ks i really appreciate that and are glad you fou d your way here.

I mean i dont mind private sales. But yea they should be taxed and follow regulation ideally.

@msafaksari all of our features are based off community standards. Any app which supports the full set of features we support shoukd ha dle it just fine. That said it is true many apps are written with loads of bugs and either just dont implement many features or implement them i n a way contrary to the rest of the community.

Writing our own app woukd be nice. It was mentioned lately.

@eberhofer yes its complicated. Im well aware of this and other poor quality and highly biased attempts at selling that particular viewpoint. Sadly thry made very poor conclusions fro. Otherwise valid but intellectually dishonest data (much of which ive addressed before more generally).

@admitsWrongIfProven

The person i responded to made absokutely no mention of background checks.

@stormy178@mastodon.stormy178.com @MelodyCooper

@msafaksari we are on version 3.2.1 of qoto which is a fork of mastodon but our versioning is not equivelant. We are in fact in most ways ahead of 4.1.2 though there is one feature i need to pull in.

@admitsWrongIfProven

No i was quite clear i was talking about a specific type of commonly proposed restriction, banning.

@stormy178@mastodon.stormy178.com @MelodyCooper

@thatguyoverthere

Depends on the state but yea

@stormy178@mastodon.stormy178.com @MelodyCooper @admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

I dont think you can see the toot i replied to, the person blocked me.

I am not against background checks in their current form, which is thurough and complete.

The one issue with the current setup is loopholes at gun shows. But that doesnt appear to be a huge source of actual problems so yra im for background checks as they exist today.
@stormy178@mastodon.stormy178.com @MelodyCooper

@eberhofer and no the dats generally doesnt support that but indo understand how you can be mislead by the fact that people do try to manipulate thr facts a lot

@eberhofer that is complete nonsense.. people are trying to **ban** all types of guns even guns that are made for small game (like ar-15). If you can ban something with one of the smallest bullets of all guns, a gun not even appropriate for hunting anything larger than a fox, then no calling it banning is entierly appropriate. Nor is "we just want a little regulation" at all a reflection of the reality.

I spent the day playing with elephants and getting snoot cuddled.
