There's no landing cards at the moment and I think that still applies when you want to visit.

Border bounce is leaving the country and entering again on visa exempt. Visa run means going to a consulate town and getting an actual visa for entry.

Looking back it seems that you did say that. It must be the second issue then. "Why are you being so hostile?" I'm not hostile; I just pointed out an error in your statement. Don't take it personally, I just have more time on my hands today than usual.... ????????‍♂️

You said that getting a visa was an "easy and straightforward process". You didn't add in any provisions. Besides which, not being able to afford an Elite visa does not automatically make you poor. Just as with intelligence, there are different levels. "Read a comment recently on one the AN threads, a foreigner, he bragged about stealing money from bar girls purses." Ah.... That changes everything. A story you read from somebody else talking about a single 3rd party getting up to no good is absolutely sufficient evidence to prove somebody who can't afford an elite visa is a threat to society. "Your comments don't make any sense." I can only guess that either English isn't your first language, or you simply expect people to understand all the nuances of your views without the need for you to actually have to state them in the first place.

Over 50, married, or very wealthy, then. Better?

You don't think the two knifes had anything to do with the charges?

So are we just going to ignore the fact that he was armed?

I don't think you understand what the definition of "overstay" if you're over 50 or married...
