Hey, you seem to only care about them when a bullet is involved.

Only that you seem to be a bit paranoid. I do fine with a 12 gauge leaning in the corner. You seem, well, very fearful of society.

This is fun.
That’s a pretty interesting observation. Something not designed to kill somehow kills more children than something designed to kill.

I differentiate between accidents and deliberate mass shootings . Strange, I know, but then I have no need to do mental gymnastics to defend innocents dying at the hands of crazy people.




Its late, and I no doubt will get to hear your same excuses when discussing the next mass shooting. Until then....

Seriously, do you believe a law would have stopped him from acquiring these weapons?
But what if BATF agents came around and visited his family and asked if they were aware he had recently purchased ten rifles and 5,000 rounds of ammunition? Would they have questioned him and consulted someone? That often happens with addicts.
That's of course, an unknowable issue.

Right deliberate mass murder has a murderer pulling the trigger, but why do you focus on guns?

What exactly is wrong with owning or buying legally 10 rifles (or even dozens) and 5,000 or more rounds of ammunition? What number constitutes over the line in your opinion?

As a gun owner what would it take for you guys to seriously consider some type of gun control compromise? At this point you're not even willing to give a little in regards to your rights?

Stop with the "some" liberals line. If you are a liberal, and continue to be a liberal even though you don't agree with liberal policies, then you are part of the problem. Similar to how all conservatives are apparntly held responsible for White Supremacists, all liberals need to take responsibility for the train wreck that they have turned and are turning our society into. And if you dare to ask "what train wreck," take a look at Detroit, Washington D.C., Chicago, coastal California, or anywhere else that liberal/progressive politics are the norm. Every single one of them is a train wreck, and 90%+ of the blame can be laid at the door of "liberals".
Truth too hard for you?
Clue 2: Not all Liberals are Democrats.
I never claimed that Cons are responsible for White Supremacists, so fail...again
The Train Wreck is Nation Wide.

Until guns run out of homes and start killing people, there isn't too much to talk about.

Not a single law would prevent a person from acquiring a gun and go on a killing streak.

"Hey, how about we pass a law that people cant rob banks. There would be no bank robberies."
