    You're letting emotion rule your reason. When did President Trump ever attempt to pass legislation banning guns? When, and if he does, then I'll agree with you.

    He hasn't yet. Nor did the Democrats during his era, until 2013 (after Sandy Hook), and it went nowhere.

    Are you only a gun grabber if you introduce legislation? What legislation did Hillary Clinton introduce while she was a Senator?

    He took 20 cruises with multiple port stops and you focus on "Middle Eastern Ports"?

    In addition to his frequent forays into casinos and gun shops, Las Vegas strip killer Stephen Paddock took 20 cruises, many of them in Europe and the Middle East, investigators have learned.

    The cruises included stops at ports in Spain, Italy, Greece, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates

    I've been to Greece, Egypt and Israel. Ergo, I must be part of both the Muslim Brotherhood and the NWO.

    The Democrats made a gun grab run under Bill Clinton. Don't you remember or were you too young?

    Hillary voted for war with Iraq. Why do you ask?

    I was in my 30s when Bill Clinton was President. I remember his gun grabbing. Donald J. Trump was one of the biggest and most vocal supporter of Clinton's gun grabbing.

    The war with Iraq wasn't a piece of gun legislation. Did she ever introduce gun legislation while she was Senator? i have no recollection of her doing it but I may have missed it since I had 3 little kids I was watching and didn't follow all the news.

    Wow. Weren't you recently complaining about those who posted insults to you and that you reported them?

    Trump and the Clintons were certainly tight in those days. Do you think that's true now? If not, why not? How does that play into the gun thing?

    Translation: I've been owned and can't admit it. The very fact you think the number of dead would change based in the source shows how laughable your knowledge is on this subject. Face reality just once.

    Unfortunately, foreign Nanny Staters feel compelled to dictate to the United States their own values. What's odd is how upset they become if US citizens seek to dictate how they should live, what they should believe and how their government should be run.

    Obama tried to ban guns. The only reason he didn’t is because he failed in his efforts. Trump hasn’t ever tried to ban guns during his Presidency so far.

    You didn’t prove anything. Using your source whites commit 51 of the 91 mass shootings, which is 56%, which is even lower than the 63% figure that I used in my thread. Whites are 62% of the population so they are committing a disproportionally low amount of the mass shootings in the country, using your source. Hardly the “VAST” majority.

    Another rahl argument goes down in flames.

    Lol, I completely refuted your claim. My citation clearly shows the VAST majority of mass shooters are white.


    You seem horribly confused. You made a claim, and I thoroughly demolished that claim, like I’ve done every time you and I have been engaged.

    How is 56% a “VAST majority”?

    Did you fail basic math in elementary school? Or are you just incapable of looking at the rest of the percentages in my citation? No other category came close to the 56%. The next closest race (blacks) came in at just 15%.

    56% is barely the majority of the mass shootings, not a “VAST majority”. 44% of mass shootings are being done by non-whites.

    How is 56% a “VAST majority?” A majority is 50% plus 1, so how can a few more percentage points constitute the “VAST majority?”
