So you are saying guns kill without someone pulling the trigger?

They just are.

Go ahead list the last 10 mass shootings.
Go ahead list the last 20 mass shootings.

Count 'em up.

When you include gang violence of murder suicides -- that's not a mass shooter.

Mass Shooter -- a random guy shooting at random folks.

Mass shootings, excluding gang related mass shootings, approximates the population demographics. Of the last ten mass shootings, seven perpetrators were White (one of which was Italian/Iranian), two were Black and one was Latino. Of the next ten mass shootings, six were White, two were Latino, one was Black and one was Asian.

You can't redefine terms in the middle of the game. Your government has a definition. Sorry.

No, I am not saying that.



You said that guns are killing people. Show me these guns that kill people, guns that do not have any human interaction that are killing people.

This is the most ridiculous argument. In that case we shouldn’t have laws around drugs because the drugs don’t kill people. People are taking the drugs. Seriously... it’s tiresome.

Cause you have FOOLS claiming an AR-15 is an automatic weapon. It's nauseating how ignorant the masses are and just parrot what they see other fellow imbeciles are saying.

How about folks actually look into something before making completely clueless statements.
