Tell us the next time one man stabs 500 people and kills 60 of them.
Closest thing I could come up with: Miyamoto Musashi

Of course, Musashi's estimated 60 kills were spaced out over the course of a lifetime....

I'm a gun owner who carries a gun and supports gun regulation. I don't want to take away guns from sane law abiding people.

Don't think cops or the military are racist. I agree that Trump is an imbecile, but that doesn't mean congress can't pass sensible gun laws.

I don't mind going through background checks when I buy a guy, even from private sellers, I don't mind registering my gun, and I don't mind going through training, hell I'm grateful I had the training and practice (over 40 hours so far) try to go at least once a month.

Well, they are all happy with our current president, our current gun laws and fully support the law enforcement community. With the exception of maybe one or two.

Is that right?
You don't seem to have even the vaguest grasp of what is being proposed in the area of
firearm regulation. This is why we believe your friends and the TV/media personalities you watch are lying to you. Do you ever wonder why they would need to lie if their points are valid?

Sounds like there is no diversity of thought in your environment.

Must make for lively debates.

So it is the gun's fault? How about when cars, trucks, bombs, or airliners like on 9/11 are used? That's OK? It is just that guns need to be banned? Last time I checked murder was illegal no matter what is used by the violent PERSON. Why would they follow yet ANOTHER gun law?

You may want to stay out of North, and West Philly.

Oh there is plenty of diversity. Two close friends are on the opposite side as well as my parents. It does get quite lively from time to time.

Nope. Not really even close to being correct.
