I've answered this kind of objection multiple times in this thread. Please see my post a little further up.
Essentially, all other killing methods have been regulated and increased requirements for access put in place after attacks such as hijacking and bombs...e.g. Fertilizer is harder to obtain after OK City and its harder to board a plane after 9/11.
But it's not harder to get an AR-15 after numerous mass killings that employed them.
to make anfo is not hard at all, and the materials are not hard to get no matter what OKC did. getting ammonium nitrate is not as hard as you would think to buy. heck, anyone with a backyard can go out and buy a couple of tons of it.
try being a farmer or rancher and see how much fertilizer you have on hand, especially farmers.
instead of blaming the AR-15 for the mass murders, start blaming the criminals that are doing the killing, even if they happen to be islamic.
also, start making it easier for the law abiding to carry firearms if they want to do so, and get rid of murder zones also known as gun free zones.

Where do you think undocumented guns in the hands of criminals come from?
They come from formerly documented and legally purchased guns.
Dispensing more guns into society will only mean more guns for criminals.

There is something else to be considered. If we ban guns, then gun smuggling will take place. Jamaica tried tightening up on gun access. Didn't work. Guns got smuggled in. Mexico has very restrictive gun control to the USA. Guns get smuggled into Mexico. Average citizen has a hard time getting a gun. Drug cartels have them.
It doesn't matter what people want...the facts are guns are the most common denominator in mass shootings, not Muslims.
How many times do I have to remind people of that?
A vote doesn't change the facts. You saying Muslims are the prime source of mass shootings, doesn't make it so.
Dude. Of course guns are present in all mass shootings. Because they are SHOOTINGS. With a GUN.
You can't use as an argument "mass shootings more often involve guns than Muslims" because you are defining your entire sample set to be SHOOTINGS. By definition, with guns.
You originally started with "mass killings", but then when people brought up mass killings that were perpetrated with things like bombs and planes, your argument against them was "but those weren't shootings!".
Well duh. That's like saying addition uses plus signs more often than minus signs. Yeah, smarty pants, it sure does.

Exactly right! Lets legalize drugs (because we cant control them) and ban guns (because we think we can control them).......chicken **** liberals are bass ackward.

Yes but you are all forgetting that the Right Wing wants to ban Muslims and points to the latest shooting in Orlando as a reason.
Get it now? The Right is saying these shootings are grounds to ban Muslims. If they are going to point to shootings as an excuse to ban anything, let them take into account the gun variable, which is the more dominant variable.
If RPG's could be bought legally you would see more RPG's used in domestic mass killings. But they can't, so we don't.
In other words, "it's the weapon that counts, not the ideology of the perpetrator."

Lol...good...let gun smuggling take place...Let potential criminals and mass shooters waste their time devising ways to smuggle in guns instead of planning and committing mass killings of civilians.
It's already illegal for civilians to possess bombs. Good lord.
