Are both of these statements equally illogical?
Statement 1:
[spoiler]A person firing a gun into a crowd of unarmed individuals will have the same effect as if said shooter was using a knife/axe/bat/other similar item.[/spoiler]
Statement 2:
[spoiler]A person firing a gun into an unarmed crowd will have the same effect as if the same person was firing a gun into a crowd of people who were also armed with guns. [/spoiler]
Inb4 Replies are exactly the same as those of every gun control debate ever.

To determine one as logical or illogical, you have to define what you mean by "effect". If by "effect" you mean physical, a gun shot and a stab can both kill a person. If the receiving end is killed, it doesn't matter if the receiving end is armed or unarmed, and what happens to the attacker is negligible because that would be an indirect physical effect of the attackers actions. So both statements would be logical. But that is another thing you also would have to define, whether or not you are talking about the direct or indirect "effect" of the attacker's actions. Also, statement cannot be more logical than another, and vice versa with being illogical, it is either illogical or logical.
