    Anti-gunners' claim is that the more guns there are, the more gun violence there will be.

    Yet the absolutely largest collection of firearms of all kinds, including "assault rifle" (as they call them) and highest percentage of gun owners is at gun shows. There are guns and ammo everywhere, stacked up.

    Why are most mass shootings in gun-free zones, which have the lowest percentage of firearms? Why are all mass shooting victims unarmed, since a person is safer without a gun?

    And with the virtual worship of the unarmed marines on the train stopping a shooter, why aren't all mass shooters stopped by unarmed people, since they claim that is how to do it?

    So... why aren't I reading story after story of shootings and mass shootings at gun shows? In anti-gunner reasoning they should be virtual slaughtering sites of weekly reports of murders and mass shootings.

    Is it possible there is something mistaken about anti-gunners logic?

    Great episode of Always Sunny where anti-gun Dee and Dennis try to act up in a gun show and point a gun at a seller

    Around here there are a lot of guns at flea markets. I've bought firearms at flea markets. There has been gun violence at stores, public gather places and so forth, contrary to you asserting you prove claiming there hasn't been.

    But you totally sidestep the topic. Anti-gunners claim more guns means more gun violence. The most guns are at gun shows, so by that logic the most gun violence should be there. You have no response to that.

    Chris Kyle was shot while armed and at shooting range. Lots of guns around at that point.

    Perhaps s**t just happens when s**t happens regardless of the guns being there or not.

    And yet the first call in an emergency situation like this is to call in guys with guns to stop it. Funny that.

    No mass shootings at gun shows. No, who'd want to do that? A bloke could get killed or something.

    Mass shootings are going to happen where people mass. And anyone who has so far gone that they are out there looking for mobs of people to shoot at indiscriminately then they'll take the chance that someone is carrying and having the element of surprise will give it a go until they either take their own life or someone does it for them.

    The US has a lot of people and a lot of guns. That means the US is going to have a lot of mass shootings. And it does.

    The question is why do people do this? I think we know that nothing is going to happen in terms of any changes in firearms laws around the US so it seems to me that the motivation, the state of mind of the person, is important to understand. Mass shootings aren't particularly American, they can happen anywhere there are people and firearms. And they do.

    Many years ago in my state I remember a man killed all the members of his family and a couple of extras. 10 people in all (this is 1971). He was going to top himself but "felt better" after killing the ten and was arrested, convicted and served 8 years before being released. He never did it again or anything like it. I've always wondered about his mentality.

    Why no shooting at "any place"....Because they don't put up "GUN FREE ZONE" signs, and shooters for the most part, prefer unarmed victims......

    Let's stick with shopping malls, why would you think there are no shootings at shopping malls?

    As for Dunkin Doughnuts, over a million hits on the seach query "Shootings at Dunkin Doughnuts"

    https://www.google.com/webhp?source...spv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=shooting at dunkin doughnuts.

    Has Obama, who is a big gun controller, ever explained why his administration was walking guns to the Mexican Drug Cartels?

    Anti-gunners lie. Incessantly. Deliberately. Constantly.

    Obama was on TV today lying to run down the USA in terms of gun violence in his incessant hatred of the USA and to placate and repeat the lies the anti-gun lobby incessantly spouts out.

    I gather your goal on this thread is to post as much false claims as possible - and as each claim you make is proven false - you just ignore getting caught - and instead post more false statements - on and on and on.

    Clearly, it is reasonable to conclude that anything you post to be deliberately false and exactly opposite from the truth.

    The top 5 countries for mass shootings per capita all have “restrictive” gun policies. It isn't the USA - but that is what Obama, Democrat politicians and liberals tell over and over. You are going into an orgy of false claims.

    NOR IS THE USA TOP OF THE LIST:

    Norway was a one-off with the Anders Breivik thing but Finland? What's in the water? Finland? Over 1000% more. Yet you, Obama, Democrats, anti-gun liberals will just keep declaring the same lies incessantly because truth and people's safety is absolutely irrelevant to them. And to you.

    RATHER, THIS IS THE RELEVANT FACT: EVERY PERSON MURDERED IN A MASS SHOOTING - IN THE USA OR ANYWHERE - WAS UNARMED AND DEFENSELESS.

    The basis for mass shooting is the shooters confident there is no one armed to oppose them.

    Sigh - perhaps if I make the font bright and big people might understand

    Well here goes

    Correlation does not equal causation

    There - so tell me how come not all McDonalds employees are fat?

    Why are there no car pile ups in parking lots?

    I could go on with ridiculousness but doubt I will reach the level met by the OP

    "Above top secret" seriously? I mean you are quoting one of the internets most notorious conspiracy theory sites and you expect us to believe it???

    Firstly no-one said that no mass shootings happen outside America - it is just that there are more inside America per year than just about the rest of the world combines - minus war zones of course

    Secondly - get some truth in reporting
