    If you're going to extrapolate beyond crime rates during the "assault" weapons ban, you would also have to account for ownership of those scary-looking guns for the same expanded time period for an honest, apples-to-apples comparison, no?

    So, remember kids, expressing any emotion over a school shooting above and beyond T'Pol raising her eyebrow is "performative outrage :shakefist:" but Tim Pool could lick the blood off the ground, and moan sexually, and "that's just free speech, kiddies!! Nut up!! :shrug:".

    I'm not quite sure what point you're making, and what it has to do with the claim:

    "We've been through this. Gun violence trends with crime rates."

    It seems like that should be true across all time periods? If you're saying that isn't the case can you just clarify what time period you think is relevant to look at and we'll pull stats for that period?

    Today's total so far: 16 dead and at least 40 people shot.

    https://www.rawstory.com/gun-violence-memorial-day/

    Man, imagine how much it must suck to live in a country like Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and the like, where they don't have the freedom to announce that over 40 people were shot by guns in a single day. Can you believe that they traded the ability to have bunches of people to wind up dead for things like universal healthcare. What good is that when you're enmeshed in a civil war, amirite? I mean, which would you rather have? The ability to use an AR-15 against the local SWAT team, their armored vehicles, and drones, or the ability to go to the doctor without having to worry about how much it might cost you? I don't know when I might need to see a doctor, but I know that any second now, the government is going to flip the sign from "Freedom" to "Tyranny" and when that happens, I don't want to be without a gun. I might not be able to take out a tumor with a gun, but I can sure make the ol' Biden's eyes water with one!

    Looks like the FBI managed to stop a planned mass shooting - some Neo-Nazi kid (seriously, he's 19) was posting suspicious stuff (anti-Jewish views, admiration of other Neo-Nazis, y'know the kinda healthy and and totally normal stuff a 19-year old kid should be into) on social media. They found a load of guns, Nazi flags, gas masks, ghillie suit and sniper training manuals. Oh and a plan to hit a synagogue on his phone.

    I guess you are correct, I would prefer @Jenee taking another shot as his cum dumpster than him actually acting on his tough guy act and shooting up a bunch of toddlers for being more manly than he is.

    the type that breathe a sigh of relief if it turns out the shooter wasn't white and then start screaming "gang violence" "single parent homes" and "wokeness"?

    You know you're defending a strong position when you default to calling everyone who disagrees with you racist.
