You said that handguns are the most common weapon used in mass shootings. Ok. I'm just curious as to why you referred to the Dublin smuggler's cargo as 'just handguns'. If handguns are the primary weapon used in mass shootings, wouldn't you see curtailing (not banning) their availability as at least one possible way of reducing either the number of mass shootings or the number of victims?
And before you snap off on the wrong tangent, I don't have a problem with you, personally, owning firearms. Based on your posts here, you seem to know a lot about them (more than I do, anyroad), and you seem well aware of the safety issues involved. YOU aren't the problem.

Because 99.99999 percent of handguns are NOT used in mass shootings.
The assumption that they stopped mass shootings by finding these guns is ludicrous.
I can assure you that percentage is wrong.
