Then look at the numbers for mass murders. 1 person killing dozens
doesn't happen often with fists or knives.

It is also an insignificant number of the murders but I suppose if you
are a racist, you would point out these are white kids so they matter.

it's only insignificant if you are not the one getting murdered.

The chance of anyone being murdered who is not living in the ghetto is
pretty insignificant and if you are murdered in Leave it to Beaver
land, it is probably someone you live with doing it.

LOL! Your lunacy is incredible.

Not my lunacy, it is the FBI saying that.
Have you ever actually looked at the UCR and understood what you were
looking at?
How many homicide cops have you known?


So, It is OK for someone you live with to murder you? That just doesn't
count.

And why do you need guns if you don't live in a ghetto. There is almost
no chance of anyone murdering you, by your own words.


There are other uses for guns other than simply shooting people but I
would not expect you to understand that.



These "active shooter" things average down around the number of people
hit by lightning. (27 a year killed and 243 injured in an average
year)

In fact in spite of the assault rifle hype, most people killed by
rifles are not killed by an assault rifle since it is usually a
hunting accident where magazine capacity is typically limited to 4+1.
The rifle is as likely to be a bolt action as an SA.

Banning ARs is not going to do much to the murder rate.


Banning weapons of war would drastically reduce the ability of 1 person
to murder dozens in seconds.

These are not weapons of war but I doubt I could explain the
difference to you.
You are still spending a lot of effort trying to address 0.18% of the
murders here. (30 out of 16,425 in 2019). In fact even if you want to
talk about those "active shooters", 52% used handguns, not "weapons of
war".

I know you hate statistics but that is what they say.
