Nuff said!

The truth: gun controls in other countries vastly reduce the number of gun deaths and knife violence doesn't even come close to catching up.

Britain, Japan, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, etc. all have draconian gun control laws. And guess what? THEY ALL HAVE MINISCULE GUN VIOLENCE.

But durrr herp I guess Bubba dawn sawth needs hus big ol' gunz.
The gun laws in Canada are not what I'd call "draconian", they are mostly used to limit firearms to hunting weapons, although handguns are legal as well. We are just not allowed to pack them wherever we go.

Perfect example of why most in the military can't stand liberals.

Guns just make it easier for anyone to do it and succeed and to take out multiple people .

Yes, idiot, gun violence in the US is going DOWN. Gun violence in Britain and Australia is going UP. Seems clear enough that even an idiot could figure it out, but don't let facts get in the way if your delusions.

If he had decided to make a bomb he could have killed a lot more people. And it's surprisingly not that hard to do so, unfortunately.

Yes -- you can really see it where I live -- which is on the border with what had been the most violent deadly city in the world - where guns are illegal.

Just across the border where guns are legal, it's one of the safest cities anywhere, a very low homicide rate.

Usually that sibling gets hurt quite badly or maybe even killed. But that's obvious.

How many people do you think the 911 terrorists would have killed if they only used guns?
