Thanks for avoiding the question

Without comparing to me, you’re saying you think you could kill more people with a shotgun than an AR?

Sorry yes should have been more specific. Yes it’s arbitrary but IMO when I talk about “mass shootings” I’m thinking of ones where there are 5+ killed not including the shooter. But as @Strike kindly (lol) pointed out, FBI defines “mass shooting” as 3 or more deaths and I believe that also can include the shooter. For that reason, yes, “mass shootings” as defined by the FBI will likely usually occur in high-crime areas. And yes, it’d be nice if we could stop or reduce those too, but again that’s a different conversation. And troll me by calling me a racist or something if you want (not talking about you specifically), but unfortunately many (not all of course) of those victims aren’t exactly innocent, or at the very least aren’t usually random. So even though the types of shootings that just happened in Maine are less common, for one there are more people killed in one incident, and two it is killing all innocent people basically at random. So I think it’s certainly worthy of having a conversation focused specially on these types of shootings.

“More people are killed with handguns” is irrelevant to my question and a different subject. The subject at hand is how can we reduce the number mass shootings, or at least the number of people killed in mass shootings. Is the argument by the “gun enthusiasts” here that AR-15’s and similar (let’s just say guns that would have fallen under the previous ban), are not more capable of causing more casualties than most other guns not covered by the previous ban?

So an AR-15 isn’t more efficient at killing people than most handguns?

Wow. 2700 likes and counting in only 3 hours so far

Lol

Probably caused by the Covid vax

Yeah, kinda like when peefoam started a thread to whine about people leaving sad face emojis on his posts

How would that kid with a Colt .45 fare against a military vet with an AR-15?

Blue Horsehoe bumping all his own threads with random twitter links. And he really expects us to believe he’s not League Champion?

Come on man you gotta be trolling. It was great until Covid

Most of the time sure, but there have been recent mass shootings at places that presumably had armed and trained people nearby such as a bank, hospital, and college campus.

What is “real fixed private investment”?

I think you’d need to compare to other countries that have those things but not common mass shootings. Which would probably rule out social media and dense population. Not familiar with the pharmaceutical availability other places. More access to guns certainly seems like one possibility.

No, no red flag laws. Too easy for libs to mess them up

What’s your solution to reducing the number of mass shootings?

He specifically said not to take away everyone’s guns. No one here said they wanted to take away everyone’s guns.

Yeah, good thing no one is suggesting taking away everyone’s guns. Just crazy people’s and maybe not allow further sales of a small minority of the types of guns being sold

Pretty sure there are few righties here that would agree with this, even in hindsight. From what I gather their most popular recommendation would likely be to have kept him institutionalized forever.

Only in the GC can a thread about a shooting in Maine become about alleged election fraud in Georgia

Looks like this is one shooting where I can't blame bullying. I'd guess this guy was the bully.

If it was a thread he started, couldn't he have just deleted it himself?
