    Are you basing those numbers on the study that just asked gun owners about “defensive gun use” without any form of validation whatsoever?

    Regardless, your talking point had nothing to do with anything I posted, you clearly just wanted to say it. Are you worried I might have hurt your guns feelings?

    70% of mass shooters are legal gun owners. Of the remaining, most are children who took the unsecured firearm of a family member.

    The pro-gun community has spent 20 years insisting that they (and they alone) have the answers yet the problem continues to spiral further out of control. The number of guns used in crimes that were bought through “gun show loopholes” is on the rise, but the pro-gun community still opposes background checks for private sales.

    So regurgitate all the gun lobby talking points you want because your word is worthless.

      You literally asked what if we took all he guns away and I gave a counterpoint why i think that would be bad. If you doubt my sources (which is impressive since i hadn’t provided any yet) say so instead of jumping to insults. If you want to start ad hominem attacks, just reply to yourself cause I’m not interested in continuing the conversation.

        So your answer to “What if we took your guns away?” is “Because guns in America are used defensively”?

        Lie better.
