So, let me get tis straight.

You want MORE gun laws even though you ADMIT the existing laws are NOT being followed.

To STEAL a gun is against the law.

What make you think any NEW gun laws WON'T be broken?
Why do we have any laws at all?

Exactly, murder is against the law, and that doesn't stop people from being murdered, be it with a gun, knife, bat, bomb, punch, etc.

Asinine rants like this is why we CAN'T have reasonable discussions on issues!
Correct! That bumper sticker talking point from the NRA, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” is ridiculous! I agree with you on that.

If you are so concerned about high numbers of deaths', let's bad CARS FIRST because they cause MANY MORE deaths then cars.

But, you WON"T address them because you ONLY care about GUN deaths.
We do and we have.

I'm confused here. Didn't the gunman slay 4% of that town and shoot everyone in that church? Didn't the gunman kill himself?

I didn't know that the killings in Las Vegas and Texas were committed by bats or punches.

They weren't, I'm just pointing out murder, itself, is illegal, does that stop people from doing it?

Yippie!

Of course, 26 people are dead, so if we're keeping score the gunman still wins the game, right?
