> I'll assume you are a woman.

Why are you assuming this person is a woman? What does that have to do with your point about prostitution reducing shootings?

Also what does legalizing prostitution have to do with reducing sexual abstinence? Color me confused.

He's probably saying if prostitution was legal and normalized in our society, there could be an outlet for men who can't get sex any other way, which could curb their tendency to go shoot up innocent people.
