So you dug up one example of a mass murder not involving guns spanning back 80+ years as proof that guns aren't at fault while overlooking the dozens upon dozens of mass murders that have occured since then that did involve guns?

What the liberals don't understand-
Banning guns won't save society from the multitude of crazies out there who hear voices telling them to kill or blow up someone or something.
True progressives should demand mental health reform, not gun law reform.

Yeah, because all us liberals are convinced that crime will come to a complete halt with a ban on semi-automatic weapons. A weaker strawman has never been erected.

Why don't people use this method now?

As a progressive, I demand both.

What reasons can you suggest for why all those massacres you howl about took place? It wasn't the guns that squeezed the triggers. Why did they take place.

Can you tell me about when psychiatrists started giving some of the dangerous drugs they have for depression and the like.

Why do any of those things? Is it because you think that taking up the guns will keep them from happening?

Yep, the media is screaming for that ban. When they take over control of this nation maybe they can call all the shots for the people. You know, We the People.
