But mass shootings aren't the only factor. Firearms exist to protect the owner against *all* forms of violent crime. Therefore it is violent crime that needs to be examined to get a relevant factor. Not propaganda/dishonest tactics like only look at deaths from shootings.
It is helpful to note, Johnny, that Australia still lists firearms as the tool used in around 20% of their annual murders. Hmm...
Not to mention the fact that violent crime has gone up/not fallen. Doesn't look good, that is for sure.
What we need is more guns.
Because gun crime still exists. We need more guns to protect us from all these guns.

The mass shootings of schoolchildren are the context for these current discussions. Please stop diluting and deflecting. It makes you look like a #ing monster.

I believe they claim zero new school shootings not reduced violent crime.
Have a nice night.
Should ban cars to prevents 30,000 deaths a year? I mean, we can make that zero too.
No child should have to drown... let's ban swimming pools while we are at it.

Nah we should move on up to hand grenades, maybe claymores at the front door at night, what could possibly go wrong......

No child or adult should ever be struck by lightning! It kills at least 63 and injures 100's per year. Ban all people going outside while you're at it

We’re actually in the process of making cars even safer (self driving). We’ve also passed many measures and regulations (seatbelts, car seats, strict DWI laws), to make cars safer.
So since you brought up cars, should we go the same way with guns? Passing regulations and safety measures to make guns (or ownership) “safer”.
