it is most interesting that you [strawman alert] believe any claims are specious unless we dismiss Islam as well?

It is interesting that you fuck altar boys. ... Do I win the competition for worst reading of another post? Just how dumb are you to say such a thing? Yes I get angry when words are falsely put in my mouth.
I made it very clear I supported the above, and was asking to widen it. That is far from "whataboutism".

There is no problem of "gun violence" in the USA

Wow. Tens of thousands dead. "no problem". I guess drug overdoses and road deaths are no problem for you either. Until it happens to a loved one. Suicides "no problem" until you find your son with his brains blown out? How do you get so callous to the suffering of others?

First, it is a District Attorneys job to deal with criminal law, nothing more.

Oh I agree. Sorry I was not more clear that with "morality" I was referring to the website choosing not to host gun parts. Not the DA.

The question of whether the government should attempt to censor gun plans is a separate one. It does seem like a bad idea, if it is anything like the "war on drugs" or the DMCA.

Never been to California? They banned some guns.

"some guns" ? You mean assault rifles? sub-machine guns?
Surely everywhere bans "some guns"? Googling ... no, apparently in Texas you can buy a 50-cal machine gun, or even a 155mm howitzer.
However an M982 Excalibur Round is not available for civilian purchase, nor is the W48 nuclear shell. If you do manage to find one, there is a $200 stamp tax. Per round. Congratulations on your liberties.

Meanwhile California is awash with guns. My friends lived in the US for a bit, and their kids told us about the "active shooter drills". You realise that sort of thing is NOT normal?

Can you define "gun violence"? I've seen how the Brady Campaign defines "gun violence" and they had to shoehorn suicide into the definition to make their numbers look like there was a problem of "gun violence" in the USA.

Violence is ... stop playing dumb. Use of force to harm, or more broadly including the threat of force.

Their "logic" was that any action involving a firearm was inherently violent, or some other bullshit.

Why are you getting bogged down in semantics? Is hunting violence? Not in this context. People can refer to an earthquake as violent. Just pick a definition, make it clear, and don't whinge that others use a different one. Yes homicide and suicide should be treated as separate issues.

As most people would define "violence" is use of force against an innocent person.

WTF does "innocent" have to do with it? Aside form innocence being subjective. Are gang wars or Palestine non-violent if you think nobody is innocent? Your argument has collapsed into absurdity.
