Virtually all gun violence is caused by younger men. Many mass shooters are men with severe problems with women.

Instead of 30 make it 80

And both genders

And instead of 80 make it so only dogs and cats can own guns, you almost never hear of a dog shooting his owner and cats can already kill you if they want, they'd just do it in your sleep, so the gun doesn't matter

22 injured, suspect killed in Trenton arts festival shooting

TRENTON (WPVI) --
Twenty-two people including a child were injured and one of the suspected gunmen was killed after gunfire broke out during a 24-hour arts festival in Trenton, New Jersey.

...

Earlier Sunday, Onofri said officials believe an officer shot and killed the suspect. The Mercer County's Prosecutors Office Homicide Task Force has taken over the investigation due to the officer-involved shooting.

Seventeen of those injured suffered gunshot wounds, Onofri said. A 13-year-old boy and three other people are in critical condition.

...

Onofri says multiple individuals who were attending the event opened fire in the venue. Several weapons have been recovered.

yep definitely a good thing that so many guns are going around, it makes everyone so much safer :thunk:

Yes. Fascists however worship the glory of death and the best victory against them is to leave them blubbering humiliated in public. Why do you think they're so keen about triggering libs? It's the most horrific thing they can think of, being made upset, that won't get them arrested.

But at any rate we can use guns to shoot fascists into space if we work hard enough at it.

I think it's great optics for supporters of the Bill of Rights to have folks like you trying to make legalistic arguments to take their rights away, especially of the sort where you act like the Bill of Rights isn't really a thing. I encourage it wholeheartedly, and recommend you vote for whichever candidate running on the D ticket in 2020 is most stridently anti Bill of Rights.

Bill of Rights is definitely a thing, and it definitely doesn't guarantee unrestricted access to as many guns of any type as you like.

It's funny because the best argument you can muster is "People who don't like my bizarre interpretation of the 2nd hate freedom" and LOL that is dumb as poo poo.

Additionally most normal people think that's insane which is why they support gun control.

then it should be easy for you to get some gun control passed. why is it that keeps not happening? I get why you people are so terrified of the NRA because for a relatively tiny lobbying organization they sure seem to wield a lot of power! I get that you have to think that because it's easier than facing the reality that even with push polling, there's only a tiny number of people who are single issue gun control voters, who are massively outnumbered by people who are single issue voter against new gun control measures.

edit: just to be clear, i agree with the SC's interpretation of the 2A, as do many if not most gun owners. it would seem that you and your fellow grabbers have the bizarre interpretation, unless you're going to dig your heels in and continue to insist that the Huffington Post comments section is actually the final arbiter of what the constitution and BoR actually say

how is the NRA a powerful lobby? they dont even rank in the top 100 lobbying orgs by dollars? (https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=d000000082id=d000000082) Are you going to say that they wield some massive influence with voters? how does that jive with your second statement?

Plus, i'm not sure that 42% of the households (https://www.statista.com/statistics/249740/percentage-of-households-in-the-united-states-owning-a-firearm/) counts as a 'tiny minority' but I get that you people tend to be bad at math so I'll let it slide on account of you being wrong about basically everything

edit; you know who are a tiny minority? people like you and the rest of the grabbers in this thread. I guess that's why you have to huddle so close to each other, so the echo doesn't get lost in the vast spaces between you

Under a third of people own guns. You went with household because it's the biggest number you could find, while still being a minority.

However I'd wager the idiots like you who believe in the crazy-person version of the 2nd amendment are probably the 3% who own half the guns in the country.

Meanwhile, support for stricter gun control polls at like 70%
