Conspiracy nut, not much else worth mentioning.
You’re missing the point spectacularly, which is without guns there can be no shootings?
I love it here - it’s just a bit frustrating though, because I’m time-poor for a few days.
Irrelevant. Those seeking to commit mass murder would simply seek and use different tools.
Would you prefer grenades? Truck bombs? How about ramming trucks into crowds on the street or into and through bars, malls, and shopping centers?
The tool is irrelevant, those who can’t lay their hands on guns use other and usually much more dramatic means of accomplishing their goals every day.
The gun however gives us all the ability to easily and selectively resist them with deadly force without collateral damages.
Guns are entirely different because they can kill at a distance, thereby giving the target no chance whatever to defend himself. Any more diversions?
If I had more time I could marmalize you, Samm, and Manhattan!
Well that certainly isn’t true. 1.5-2.5 million crimes are prevented or stopped in progress in the US every year by law abiding citizens using their guns to do just that. In the vast majority of cases they do this without ever firing a shot as all it takes to stop most criminals is the mere knowledge their target or someone close by is armed.
I can however blow up a mall, shopping center, or sporting event remotely from miles away even far beyond line of sight.
The average distance for a self defense shooting is under 12’.
The prep in Dayton was killed by men with guns within thirty seconds of begining his spree at a distance of under thirty yards.
As usual you are devoid of facts.
As usual you are dissembling?
Cut the trolling and either stick to the subject here or move on.
Anytime you think you can challenge me on the facts give it your best shot, so far your efforts have been childlike and an embarrassment.
No guns equals no shootings - end of! That’s not trolling, it’s an unambiguous statement of fact. Don’t try and dissemble - troll? - by introducing explosives and IEDs into the conversation.
Stating a fact is just that and the fact is where people cannot easily get their hands on guns they use other means to commit mass murder and it happens every day around the world.
Guns aren’t the problem and in fact I can show conclusively that the use of the gun both by perps and defenders reduces casualties rather than increases them.
Guns at least are selective, explosives are not n or are vehicles.
A competent shooter can pick out one person in a crowd of thousands and kill them with no collateral damage, this isn’t practically even possible with other means such as VBIED’s or Vehicles.
God how I hate these memes, or whatever they’re called!
I said “mass,” like killing 50 in one go? I’d like to see what happens if someone tried to do that with a kitchen knife.
Sounds like you just hate everything and it’s more to do with your self loathing than memes!
But we’re not talking about competence, we’re talking about atrocities using handguns and firearms???
Exactly! It’s so obvious that it shouldn’t need to be explained, unless it’s to a dimwit?
Did you know that more people die from alcohol related deaths than they do from gun violence? Of course you wouldn’t talk about that right?
50 or more is an exceptionally rare event here in the US by any means.
No I wouldn’t want to talk about alcohol related deaths unless it’s in another thread. One topic at a time please?
Handguns are firearms. If you’re going to pretend to know something about the subject it would be helpful to know something about the subject.
