Nice twist. They forgot to add that it would've only been bad in one of our cities with the strictest gun laws. To add to that, imagine how fast a man with a gun could have ended this knife rampage.
I care because the NRA has a presence here trying to loosen our gun laws and interfere with our politics.
Simple fact that nobody can deny: The bad guy would have killed a lot more people with a gun.

laws don't stop any violent crime, lack of availability is the only reason you don't have as many shootings...
So, laws that say less guns, means less shootings.
We could be onto something here.
Keep trying though, you'll never be right but if it makes you feel better........
As of July 31, 2019, 248 mass shootings have occurred in 2019 that fit the inclusion criteria of this article. This averages out to 1.2 shootings per day. In these shootings, 979 people were injured and 246 died (for a total of 1,325 victims).
I believe I said it was about 500.
Last I read it's over 500
Ok mate. You got me. I overestimated a number without checking.
You refuse to fact check me because you don't want to find out I'm telling the truth
I have now posted the real figures, which are almost as bad as my estimation,
I noticed you still refuse to Google my claims.
I didn't lie.
The NRA has been contacted for comment.
