High school shooting in Parkland FL

[CapnAwesome]

Trying to confiscate guns in the U.S. would cause an untold amount of mass shootings. If you cared about mass shootings at all. I for one, don't think 'from my cold dead hands' is a bluff.

I edited my post two seconds afterwards to acknowledge that, no reason to be a dick. It is a nonsense statistic though, or do you think gun deaths some sort of value? It doesn't tell you the murder rate of a country. I mean, I'm in favor of voluntary suicide, so in favor of some gun deaths and obviously against others. So the stat is nonsense when a cancer victim ending their own life and a murder of a child are both 'gun deaths ' I mean do some thought experiments with that stat and the murder/suicide/accident mix and you'll see that pretty quick.

Also try responding thoughtfully to my points,  not being a dick to feel smug. Also I agree with a lot of your other points, which is why I didn't respond to them. Just think gun deaths is a pointless stat.

Again, had you read what you quoted, you would have noticed that I based all that text around HOMICIDES.... the very same thing you want people to address: "murder rate".
That's why I told you to read it... and I see you failed to even do that.

I didn't address that because I agree with it and acknowledged that in the post. I just was using it as a foil for my point about gun deaths, which you also brought up. Unless you are denying that all of a sudden. Go back and reread what i wrote with the edit 10 seconds later. If you didn't just instant rage and took a moment to consider what you were reading you would see that. Geez, did you not have coffee this morning Or something?
