When I saw Trump's tweet, I thought he is arguing against himself. His statement speaks to why we need gun control.

That is not even in the same universe as truth.

(192 posts)That's just as offensive as saying "all blacks are violent criminals" because a few actually are.
If someone can craft a law that will actually ensure that guns won't get into the hands of thugs, criminals
and terrorists, I'll support it but I have no idea what sort of language will magically persuade such
people to suddenly start obeying the law.
The fanatical advocates of more and more "common sense gun control" are much like the Little Moron in the
old joke, where he had his car taken to the shop and told them "The brakes don't work, put in a louder horn".
You must hate the fact that virtually all so-called 'mass shootings' have taken place in "gun free" zones.
I wonder if you would care to hazard a guess on what percentage of the victims in those cases, as they
sat watching their friends being murdered, were thinking "well, thank God there are no good guys with guns in
this here place"...

Fact is, there are armed guards at most venues where mass shootings occur. Police are armed, when they get shot. There were guns in the audience when Gabby Giffords got shot, but an old, feeble lady was the only one to stop Loughner. If George Zimmerman had not had a gun, he would not have followed Trayvon Martin. Dylan Roof would have sat home playing with himself if he didn't have a gun, as would most of the mass shooters. There were plenty of armed MPs at Fort Hood.
I think you are wrong about "gun free zones." Maybe if you stopped listening to the NRA with Board Members like Teddy Nugent, you wouldn't be repeating such crud.

(12,545 posts)by making a false comparison. Foreign terror attacks are not connected to domestic gun violence usually committed by Christians. He did the same thing by conflating the Paris accord with representing Pittsburgh. Huckster, con man, shyster and just flat out criminally insane.
