Teacher Stabbed? Really.

"Teacher Falls on Pencil in Her Backback" just didn't have the same zazz?

Since you were trying to cite evidence against gun control, it is your problem.

Do you believe that easy access to guns in Japan would drive the suicide rate down? y/n Easy question.

France has a far fewer murders per capita than the US, so actually, yes. Guns do seem to make people deader.

Guilty. In the two minutes I spent gathering links, I did very minimal vetting.

You've gotten me mixed up -- I posted these to prove that guns in the home are a threat to the residents.

You dodged the question. Understandable.

If you truly loved the people inside your home, you would not have a gun in the house.

When guns were taken away in Australia, overall suicides went down.
What do you think would happen if guns were freely available in Japan?

And how many gun deaths does France have per capita?

And yet mass murderers were able to legally purchase whatever they wanted. Maybe the laws aren't all that "draconian"?

How do you feel that relates to gun deaths?

It's weird how every other country on Earth has figured this out, but it's totally stumped America.

Oh well. I guess prayer then.

So you're saying that there's an organized way that most countries have of dealing with pervasive problems? They use some kind of bureaucratic infrastructure to manage and mitigate deadly threats?

No, I'm sorry. You're wrong. That does not happen.

I'll pray for you.

The same argument works against toilets,

"There are more than 300 million turds in circulation in this country every day, so you think getting rid of poop #300,000,001 is going to make a difference? I'm sorry, but waste treatment is for suckers. I live in the real world, and it's full of crap. Deal with it!"

Almost all the guns in these mass shooting were purchased legally. Now bear with me, but WHAT IF we made it harder for mass murdering lunatics to legally purchase a gun?

The "only way"?

Ah. I see the problem. You aren't actually listening to anyone you don't already agree with.

My prayers go out to you.

"Just generically making it harder for some people to get some guns is not an answer."

If it were not a valid answer in every other county in the world, you might have a point.
