"Need more guns", they say...
There are a hell of a lot more than listed above. "Mass shooting" means more than 3 people at a time getting shot does not include fatalities but can.
This list does not contain suicides, domestic violence, neighbor on neighbor, accidental. 36,000 firearm deaths per year on average of all kinds, not just mass shootings.
Point being, it still remains we have a flooded market and they are way too easy to obtain.
But this list above does show the absurdity of "No!" coming from the do nothing far right. If our current amount of firearms and current laws worked, we would see less of these events, not more.
As an aside, the Luby's shooting put a crack in my belief in a God. I was going to a computer class at the time, and believed at the time. I announced the event to some students waiting for the teacher to show up, and asked them if they would join me in prayer. Yep, that was me. But immediately got shot(no pun intended) by a female class mate, who basically said while the event was horrible, the classroom was not a church. It was one of my first encounters skepticism. I still wanted to believe even after that, but the response was jarring for me a the time. I look back at it now and wish I could thank her for shutting me up.
