      Unless you are a researcher you won’t have any unique data to work with. The rest of us take data and use it to form an opinion.

      If it's 400,000.00 house holds that own the guns that means there is more access to guns, if there is 2-4 people per house that would mean you multiply the 400,000.00 guns x 2-4 which would make it 800,000.00 - 1,600,000.00 people who would have access to those guns, so the real gun ownership was somewhere between 600,000.00 - 1,000,000.00 in Australia during the time the gun related homicide rates dropped, proving Vincent's point, it's not the guns that are the problem, but the people, it's time for mind control 😈

      US has 30 times more gun related homicides per capita compared to Australia.
      Guns and crime are directly related.
      Guns are force amplifier, it kills people easily because of which the victim's family wants to get revenge and the cycle of hatered is perpetuated and crime increases. Its more difficult to kill people with a knife.
      Also police violence in US is because of guns. Police wouldn't shoot people at the first instance if they didnt suspect people of carrying guns.

      In fact with that exact info you have to consider that the pill both worked and did not work at the same time. You can not draw any conclusions either way here... If both people are exactly the same, with exactly the same "amount of sickness", then we can say the pill was not needed (but we cant say that it did nothing unless we know what rate they got better at). However that requires 2 identical people...
      If the people are not identical literally no conclusions can be drawn because the non-pill taking person may have recovered faster, yet the pill actually made this person recover slower... OR the pill could have done nothing, or the pill could have saved this person's life, etc...

    I think Destiny doesn't understand what he was saying in the beginning. He was saying that Destiny thought that the only reason Australia's gun violence went down was because of the buy back but the other guy was saying that that is not necessarily true because America's went down without a buy back. He wasn't saying America had anything to do with Australia's declining rate but that America is an example of a country going down without a buy back and so he was saying that its possible that the buy back in Australia had nothing to do with the declining rate and that America was proof that that was a possibility.

      @@TheMatthewDuvall the point is that the US should not copy australia's buy back program based on the alleged certainty that their decline was caused by the program. That's the context. That's why the two countries were being compared in the first place - people were using Australia as an example of a successful buy back program which America should emulate. Which is why the endless two way nature of "well that's not necessarily true" is irrelevant because the comparison sufficiently casts doubt on the original claim that the US would experience a decrease by doing what australia did.

      To be fair, their is a huge population difference and less of a drug problem. I don't want to be anecdotal but drug crime in Australia is much smaller, generally in the US it's more pervasive and normally leads to a huge bulk of homicides. It's also noted that in some major cities where crime has risen, the opposite has happened in the smaller surrounding suburbs per capita. So I think using homicide rate country by country is pretty disingenuous.

This can only be true if a gun buyback program is the ONLY possible way to lower homicide, which obviously it is not. He repeatedly talks as if he thinks destiny is making the argument that the buyback program is responsible for 100% of the drop in homicide, when in reality there is just substantial evidence that it CONTRIBUTED.

There is more evidence consistent with the claim that the NFA caused reductions in firearm suicides and mass shootings than reductions in violent crime, but there is also evidence that raises questions about whether those changes can be attributed to the NFA or to other factors that influenced suicide and mass shooting rates around the time the NFA was implemented."

    It’s honestly extremely unscientific to compare one country’s policies with another because there are innumerable confounding variables that would ruin such a comparison based on a binary variable (had gun buyback/did not). It would be disingenuous to claim causality in the first place, but acting like you can explain one country’s crime rates from another ignores social attitudes, political structure and policy application, access to therapy, local news biases, etc. is patently absurd

    Vincent states that Destiny was applying a "causal link" to the Australia Gun Buy Back program and the homicide decrease in Australia (Where does he say that)?
    Vincent says "that it can't be if the homicide rate in America dropped even more substantially than the homicide rate in Australia in the 90s"
    Destiny claims this non-sequitur and it is. Expressed formally, Vincent is saying "if the homicide rate in America decreased more substantially in the America, then the Australia gun buy back program did could not have contributed the homicide decrease in Australia"
    This is a non-sequitur stated as a formal conditional statement. These things have nothing to do with one another.
    The point that Vincent was trying to compare that If America's homicide rate decreased when their was no gun amnesty, that there are possible causes of decreasing the homicide rate that don't involve gun amnesty programs. He then compares that to Australia, whose homicide rate remains the same in the presence of a gun buyback/ amnesty program.
    He's trying to make the point that there are possible other and more effective methods of decreasing the homicide rate rather than gun amnesty.
    The strongest argument that he could have made should have been something along the lines "I don't believe that the gun buyback program was effective in the decreasing crime because after the program was enacted in 1996 ; the homicide rate remained relatively constant and even slightly increased over the next 5 years; and he somewhat alludes to this at around 6:30" Then he could have said following that something along the lines of
    "In addition, since there are various western countries whose homicide rate decreased in the absence of violent crimes, I believe that there are effective methods of reducing the homicide rate rather than gun amnesty". That would have been a good argument that actually relates back to the data that he has.
    10:15 No it doesn't Vincent. We can see your argument, but you're not stating it appropriately.
    10:55 Bingo, so Vincent actually gets Destiny right here if we're talking about the 1996 gun buyback program. The data shows that Destiny's claim is wrong. And there is no refuting this.
    11:21 It seems that Vincent realizes the issue with what he said earlier.
    13:15 I don't think Vincent reviewed this data beforehand and misread the graph. Given the data, this suggest that the gun buyback program decreasing the number of mass shootings. And that after 2002 there would not have been another shooting until 17 years down the line. So this seems to support Destiny's Argument.
    16:45 It seems that Destiny is looking at the data from 2011-2012.
    1:00:57 Because violent crime is relevant to protecting gun rights. One of the main points of people in favor of controlling gun ownership is that they believe that it is positively correlated - and in some instance even causes - violent crime. Vincent is trying to refute that point. It's not that he doesn't care about the amount of harm being to people or that he values it more than protecting gun rights. He's trying to make an argument that lax gun laws do not increase violent crime. Unfortunately, Vincent doesn't make it clear that this is his point but it is pretty obvious that's what he's trying to get at.
    1:04:30 Vincent, you should be able to understand what he's saying right here. Destiny is arguing that the people who sell firearms illegally obtain them legally by purchasing them through some authorized dealer. But they sell the firearms illegally to people who commit violent crimes. In order to keep guns out of the hands of people who commit violent crimes, Destiny is arguing that making it more difficult for people to purchase firearms legally will make it more difficult to get them in the hands of the people who commit violent crimes. That argument seems logical but it would require some analysis.
    1:10:00 Destiny has a better source than Vincent. His study is more much more broad than Vincent's Chicago study that only looks at a principality as opposed to Destiny's that look at inmates from across the United States.
    1:26:05 This is a good point by Destiny and Vince disregards the question. Now according to the data that Vince had given apparently the amount of gangs per capita at 1996 and 2012. Now I did some easy math myself in order to check for the number of gangs per 100,000 people. The populations in 1996 and 2012 respectively in the United states were 269.7 million and 314 million. Taking the data from Vince's statistics reports suggest that the amount of gangs per 100,000 people were 313.86 vs 270. So in terms of per capita that is about a 14% drop.
    So in absolute terms in 2012 there are more gang members, but relative to the population there are less members overall. Now, Vincent should have been more careful about selecting his data because this is only 2012. It doesn't give the gang membership of 2019, which would be better for a more recent analysis/ study. (And this might go back to Vincent's point about gang databases being deleted is a bad thing). But here Destiny is right. This information suggest that the rate at which people are joining gangs is decreasing over time.
    1:46:42 This is not a completely illogical hypothesis, but at the same time it doesn't addresses Destiny's point. Destiny is making the argument that if a person has easier access to a firearm, the likelihood of them killing themselves increases compared to when they didn't have one. So the real question is, if i have a population that didn't have access to firearms for a period of time, and then i introduce laws that make it easier to purchase fire arms, Will the suicide rate increase, decrease or remain about the same.
    That is the real question and that's the one he's asking you about. You making graphs that suggest that the per 100,000 suicide rate in the other countries doesn't address the problem. This isn't a good metric to suggest whether having easier access to guns increases or decreases suicide.
    1:59:20 This is a good hypothesis by Vince. This could be due the a matter of numbers. If Destiny's study is only looking at the set of all crimes that have defensive break-in's and how many of them successfully defended themselves using some item other than a firearm and those who successfully defended themselves without one, then that could just be because that more people weren't in possession of a gun when they were being attacked. In order to measure such an effectiveness you need to take two sets of incidences. One of them would be where people are attacked who used something other than a firearm to defend themselves, and the other set would be people who attacked but used a firearm to defend themselves, and determine the total success rate.
    I can't go through all the logical fallacies that are being committed on both sides. I think this debate was over all unorganized. I think both of them are "attempting" - attempting because they don't seem to be able to make them clear, even though you can sort of infer what they are trying to say - to make certain points. The whole debate is just bad due to misinformation because even at the very beginning neither one of them really understand what the other's argument was. This could be done again but I think both of them need to set the groundwork for what they are arguing for and against and the other people needs to get good analyses that supports their argument, find things that counter the other persons, and also
    look for arguments that counter their own.
    Overall this is a pretty bad debate. They both just repeat the same things without really asserting the other person's argument. More critical analysis and thinking needs to be done if there is to be a round 3. And hopefully if there is another debate that both Destiny and Vincent are looking for the truth of the matter and not arguing for some sort of agenda that they believe to be right. What is the truth of the matter should always be the objective for these types of debates.
