What are guns designed for?

It's not a strawman. But I do appreciate your feeble attempt at discrediting...

Anything can become a weapon... last I checked... vehicles killed more people per year than firearms... so...

But he couldn't have done it with a baseball bat or a knife.

When Sen. Rubio says "now is not the time to talk about gun control," that's the $3.3 million of NRA money they gave him talking.

Colombine had 13 victims, so this is worse than that. Back in 1999 Columbine was a huge deal, but now its becoming normal.

I thought the M-80 were 1/8 stick, with the 'blockbuster' being a 1/4

or was it vice-versa

Agreed.

Lack of coursework related to gun safety and marksmanship which should begin in Pre-K would help. School staff 21 and up with a permit being barred from concealed carry, this should change too.

Notice all these mass school shootings happen on campuses where all guns are banned.

Our culture glorifies violence and guns. Kids see millions of shootings and other acts of violence on TV, movies, video games, etc. This is how they are taught to treat people. They are good learners. We are bad teachers.

Harris actually got a lot of his information off the internet. I think if making bombs was as easy as some people think, more people would make bombs.

Lot of liberals will use statistics that include suicide, and lawful shootings like police shootings in gun violence statistics to make the numbers look higher. I think right there kind of shows how dis-honest anti-gun groups are, and can't be trusted to write any gun control laws. The real question is why is there more mass shootings then anytime in history what other factors are there mental illness possibly.
