"Eighteen students and three adults were killed Tuesday during a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, a state senator said."

A difference between a serial killer and a mass shooter is that the latter often makes no attempt to flee from the crime. School shooters are hellbent on causing maximum carnage. Leaving early without as many deaths in order to have a better chance of evading arrest would be too high a price in their warped minds. How is society meant to defend against kamikaze gunmen like these? Even if a good guy returns fire at the bad guy, there's still a risk that both could be killed or seriously wounded if the mortal injuries take a small bit of time to impair the mobility of their trigger fingers. Unless the death of the ambusher is instantaneous, then they could kill with a second shot. So a gun isn't a guaranteed defence.

"He shot and killed horrifically, incomprehensibly, 14 students..."

Incomprehensibly? Really? What ****ing moron.

I wonder how he managed to kill so many so quickly?

Oh well, I aM sure there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.

After all we all need hundreds of guns to defend ourselves the day we turn 18.
 
My country is sick. This is evil. I have a young son. Maybe I should make good on someone else's threat to emigrate. This doesn't happen all the time in your country unless you live in the worst of the worst. Other things happen, sure. But it doesn't.

Fish in a barrel. A lockdown is nothing more than an instruction to sit there and wait to die.

Yeah, but let's be more concerned about abortion. Can't wait to see how the GOPers defend guns. But hey, after Sandy Hook we know that the GOP will not be moved by this....

We need to arm those kindergartners...

We don't see Chris Murphy, or any other Democrats, stomping around Congress and screeching about the need for stricter driving laws every time 14 kids are killed on our highways (that would be about every 3-4 days).

After all, we all need cars that can go twice the speed limit, and parking lots at every bar.

Why should guns be any different?

Another outstanding piece of logical fallacy. No one does it better than Putin and the boys at Fox.

But we certainly see the GQP shitting their pants about voter registration after they get their asses kicked in an election... If we can register voters, we can register gun owners..

What's the logical fallacy exactly? Pointing out the blatant selective outrage of politicians who want to punish innocent people for the horrifying acts of lunatics, when they won't even work to more seriously punish people who endanger children every day?

Do you think registering the Texas shooter's gun would have stopped him from mass murdering children?

Every country has car deaths


We just add gun deaths on top of that

How do you convince criminals in possession to self-incriminate?

What is the purpose of registering gun owners?

Isn't that really the problem? Should we just register whoever shows up and wants one?

Many of the car deaths we have could be prevented with stricter laws. Imagine if we made drunk driving a felony on the first offense, like Chris Murphy wants to do for the incredibly dangerous act of owning an 11-round magazine.

This kind of stupid shit was settled over a hundred years ago... What is the purpose of registering voters?

The purpose of voting is to measure the relative popularity of candidates among people who are eligible to vote. It's not to keep track of who they voted for.
 
If you have to ask, there is no point. You don't want to learn. Enjoy Fox and your crackers.

I have to ask because I know you are full of it, as evidenced by your obvious dodge.

YoU really have no clue what any logical fallacy is, do you?
You never learned a thing in school about such things.
Now you don't know how much you don't know and have no clue how stupid your posts are. Further dumbed down and justified by Fox.

What horrific sadness.

Keep dodging Einstein. I don't watch or read Fox. Suggesting that I do as the entire basis of your "argument" is an ad hominem fallacy.

Imagine if we did


But we would still have massive gun deaths
