The major problem I have discovered in my experiences is that THIS IS NOT A DEBATE ABOUT FIREARMS!! Rather, it is a debate about RESPECT!! Those who wish to remove your firearms are (by association (and/or implication)accusing you of being either a criminal or a social menace. Be that as it may for those individuals who feel that way. BUT for ANYONE in public office (elected, appointed or hired) they OWE YOU ABSOLUTE RESPECT unless they can prove beyond a reasoned argument that you are otherwise. "Gun Control" is the ultimate indication of disrespect. I could go on, but having spent so many years ironing out the specious arguments which are only used to confuse the real issue, I have found that if one stays within that position, it does away with a lot of wasted breath. I am prepared to offer comment if anyone wishes. Thank you.

The point is that you're trying to prove that guns should be illegal because it would prevent death and I'm telling you that's not bourne out by the figures. Meantime you are focusing only on shootings which took place en masse, which constitutes less than HALF A PERCENT of shootings. Why are you focusing on less than half a percent of shootings? Could it be because gun-control-network.org is the site you found that best matched your theory? Bill, that’s not the point.

"deadliest mass shootings" is a very selective statistic, why don't you look at ALL shootings? You'd see a very different picture. But while you're talking about deadly shootings, what about Dunblane School - happened in Scotland where such firearms are illegal, or the school shooting a couple of weeks ago in Canada where such firearms are illegal.
