Sorry but mass stabbings are more common place in Europe right now. 

How many die every year on each continent? It's not even close.

Been on this Earth 36 years and not had to find out yet. What I do know is I don't need a gun in my home to protect and defend my family. 

More children are killed in this country from having a gun inside the home rather than one that is used against them from outside the home. 

Still awaiting your sources on the number of mass shootings in 2017.  Mine I feel funny in saying are Wikipedia.

 

Responsible gun ownership, I trust it better than our Federal government.

I think he would have just used his vehicle instead.  Big trucks can do a lot of damage, just ask Europe.

 

I think all we know is what took place.

Gosh now it's about the children.... 

 

Yeah but if you teach children basic gun safety then it wouldn't happen. I have four children in my house and I bet my 4 year old knows more about firearms than you do. I have taken my 8 an 10 year olds shooting before at a gun range before. I bring my children up knowing firearm safety because if they know it they won't make a mistake.

Why would you when it is far easier to stockpile guns and arm yourself to the hilt? Then use it to either shoot down a cinema, music concert or an elementary school?

 

As I've already said, the number of deaths due to acts of terrorism/mass shootings is not even in the same league between USA vs First world

I am waiting for the sources as well but I doubt he will give them at all.

So your saying that people that just buy ammo are some kind of terrorists? I buy at least 100 rounds for my AK-47 and 50 rounds for my pistol, and 100 rounds for my .22 rifle every payday. So does that make me a crazy terrorist?

So you are suggesting that if this guy doesn't have guns everything is fine.  People like this will find a way.  For what it is worth, it is easier to do it with a truck.

Good for you for educating your children, let's hope they never have to use a gun.

You have yet to provide sources for you assertion?

What is wrong with educating children, isn't that what parents are supposed to do?

Easier? I can tell you it is much easier and cheaper to just use a truck.  How many bullets killed people in OK City?  Renting or stealing a truck is much cheaper and easier to do and there is no background checks.

No, but what if one day you just decide to snap, like other mass shooters, you now have at your disposal weapons that can do great harm to other people quickly and efficiently.

 

All mass shooters we're law abiding citizens just like you.

So lock up everyone that owns a gun.  I get it.
