Chicago is the prime example of what happens when you have strict gun control laws.

Nah, that'd be Australia; no mass shootings in the last 17 years.

Outside just being wrong... mass shootings and murders in general are such random outliers of society it would be irresponsible to consider the ability to be able to judge if the occurence of such things are really increasing or decreasing for any reason or just do to dumb statistical luck average wise.

Two people dead, that's not a mass shooting.

So it's a total coincidence that after a massive clampdown on guns, the next 17 years pass without a mass shooting? Please.

He shot 7 people and had five guns ready to shoot more people.  You are essentially hanging your hat on a technicality.

 

and... yes.   Yes it is a coincidence. 

 

I mean ask yoruself this.  With the gun laws... is it actually hard to get guns.  If you wanted to get guns illegally to shoot up soemthing, would this be particularly hard for you to find?

Would you be afraid of the gun laws in attempting to find guns for your plan to massacre a bunch of people?

Have their been many cases where mass shootings have been stopped by the police catching people trying to get guns?

 

All 3 answers are no.. correct?

 

People obviously aren't afraid of gun laws if they know the end result of what they plan to do is death/life in prison anyway.

It's easy to get ANYTHING on the black market... and there aren't a ton of cases of prevention.

 

There is a correlation, but there is literally no datapoints that show causation.
