A person getting a gun is not the same as someone getting shot.


Well yeah, a person getting their SIM swapped is not the same as someone getting scammed.

Until it is.


Guns have legitimate uses sim swapping does not.


Sure... except the thread you're in started with:

> It’s no better than selling a gun to a person you know intends to use it to commit a crime.

Though I guess you could be making the case that crime is a legitimate use of guns?


I'm not sure what your point is as I'm not the one who shifted the conversation.

To be clear, my original post only pointed out that what you said is a non sequitur:

> It’s no better than selling a gun to a person you know intends to use it to commit a crime.

> > Just so we’re clear: getting shot is quite a bit worse than having your phone number stolen.
