Could you stop insulting people who disagree with you? Otherwise you're no better or worse off.There's some gun control measures the right is willing to agree on and counter measures to prevent mass shootings/gun murders but the left always jumps to the extreme of ban all guns and dismisses any practical solutions. 

After some of you are done virtue signaling, have some knowledge of guns/gun statistics and your go-to isn't ban guns then perhaps we can have a worthwhile discussion about guns. If not then it's not worth bothering with ya.

This is just factually wrong. There have been myriads of attempts at compromise.

Fact is: Less guns equals less gun victims. More guns does not equal less gun victims. Solution: Less guns.

This isn't about disagreeing, this is defying first grader math. And I'm not going to lower myself to the level of people who cannot grasp first grade logic. I will not treat people who defy basic logic to have the same footing as I do or have somehow an equal opinion. They have not and it's a mistake to treat them as if they had.

Fact? 😹 This is why I said something about gun statistics. I'll use your wording. This is like a 1st grader arguing with others about mathematical statistics. You're arguing from ignorance on a topic that requires some knowledge of it otherwise you sound like that idiot, David Hogg.

From the studies done on this, guns save more lives from all crime than taken from unjustified killings by them.

Shall I do as you do in this quote?
