Not in civilized countries with strict gun control laws

The character doesn't need to be bulletproof, but the sure as hell need at least some sort of viable response to firearms.

>>152676820
or, you know, he dodges the bullets consistently for a whole year

Daily reminder that everybody know and you are not smart for pointing it out.

Not to parrot gun-fetishist talking points but do you really think career criminals are going to respect gun control laws

Nta but restricting supply would mean said criminals would have a much harder time procuring them, and criminals of opportunity would not have easy access.

Has restricting the supply of fentanyl made it harder for criminals to get fentanyl?

Technically they could not be bulletproof but have superpowers that makes avoiding bullets trivial too.

>>152676938
Yes, very much so.

A bullet'proof' vest isn't actually the same as being bulletproof.

>>152676938
...yes?

>>152676938
Yes. Like restricting the supply of guns has.

You don’t understand how drug control or gun control works. If people want something, they'll get it. There's nothing the government can do about it.

Givne the panel obviously you're wrong

>>152677116
No-guns think of guns as behaving like in videogames. When you get shot while wearing a bullet-proof vest, it will obviously stop the bullet cold, and you won't even feel it. You can always tell when a writer is a no-guns when they have characters take a bullet to the vest and keep right on moving like nothing happened. The ones that actually have used guns will have the character react as if they just got kicked hard on the site of impact, and generally point to a bruise at the site of impact when the vest is removed.

Yes, but the fallacy in your argument is assuming that everyone who commits a crime or gets addicted to a drug actually wanted it that badly. There's a really large number of "incedental" gun crimes and drug addictions that only happen because guns or drugs are readily available. If you remove or restrict that access, it won't reduce the offenses to zero, but it will remove a large chunk of them.

The problem is that there are too many brainlets like you with an all-or-nothing, black-and-white mentality that claiming "hurrrr people will just get dey guns illegally!" becomes a talking point, as if we can't just look around at other countries and realize that stricter regulation works.

Surprisingly, there's much less people with contacts in international arms smuggling than there are people capable of driving to walmart.

Now do knives

In London in 2015/16, there have been 115 knife crimes per capita. In 2024/25, 181. All despite their hard focus on banning knives to the point that a woman had her self defense against sexual assault invalidated because she was in possession of a knife when she got assaulted.

Criminals will have weapons despite the ban. Sooner or later, guns will be easier to be made at home. But some would prefer to seize means of self defense than go for the best way of actually preventing crimes with any weapons - removing criminals from the streets

Other fun per capita fact. Euthanasia in Canada kills trice more than guns in US, even if we count accidents and suicides.

How many gun crimes in the UK compared to USA?

That's some bad writing.

The question is how easily they'll get it and how much it'll cost them.
A random street punk isn't going to have a gun in a place where prohibition has made every 9mm a 4-figure proposition.

daily reminder that if your favorite child isn't bulletproof he would get killed within his first year of school

>>152676891
yeah it's weird but actually they do

in countries where you have to work pretty hard to get illegal firearms, when they're used to murder a child that killer doesn't just fucking disappear while everybody else shrugs and says yeah, but guns are a fact mang

they get turned in, because nobody wants babykillers running around in a real country that actually matters

like it does happen that you occasionally get these gun rampages and lots of people are killed or maimed and the argument reflexively is never "let's get more guns on the streets" but a kind of relief that we don't have to deal with that so often that it doesn't even make the hourly ai news summary on your phone

literally nobody in a civilised country wants more guns in the hands of criminals as a functional feature of everybody having easy access to guns

in other news have you ever read Gibbon's Decline and Fall? it's kinda long but you might get a kick out of it, maybe a few fresh perspectives on the fuck is going on with your country and culture right now

Before or after accounting for niggers, muslims, trannies and spics?

can't you just use that argument to say we should have no laws at all?

>knives to the point that a woman had her self defense against sexual assault invalidated because she was in possession of a knife when she got assaulted.
Yeah that's not how the law works so stop making things up

Superheroes should use guns if necessary.

I don't think one their of 76k is 38k. And that is not counting people that have life altering consequences by being shot.

One hundred and fifteen per person huh. Damn, that *is* a lot of stabbings. Literally everyone is stabbing someone every three days. That's impressive really.

I have no idea what you think 'per capita' means, but it doesn't mean what you think it means.
>>
>>152678570
but knives have a use besides killing people. you can cut fruit with them, and perhaps more uses also.

Raped, probably.
