Canada also has a lot of people with mental health issues but they don't have all these mass shootings. Think about it. What do they do that's different. Answer: better gun control.
So how do you explain Maine, Vermont & New Hampshire?
Zero gun control, zero mass shootings, and NH has a lower homicide rate than Canada.
The Parkland teens realize they were hunted down and shot with an AR-15. If Cruz had not been able to buy that AR-15, he could not have killed 17 people in 6 minutes. They want sensible gun control.
So are you saying that it would have been okay if he'd only killed 12 people? Or if it had taken 8 minutes instead of 6?
Besides, there are hundreds of models of guns readily available that he could have used with the same results.
Again, and I believe this is the third time in this thread, approximately 300,000 gun deaths in the US since 2007, the AR-15 was involved in 173 of them. Banning this one model isn't going to change anything.
I want to see the problem addressed, but with real solutions rather than feel-good low-hanging fruit legislation that doesn't accomplish anything.

Oh, brother! You’d say anything to save your precious AR-15, the gun of choice of mass murders.

That is incorrect. The actual citation was that 173 people died in mass shootings in which an AR-15 was used. It says NOTHING about the number of other shooting deaths in which the AR-15 was used because those statistics are not reported to the FBI. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...shootings.html
