You need to think about the frequency of these events vs. for example, dying by drowning in a bath tub or driving a car. Mass shootings in the US are extremely rare when compared to the size of the population, the number of guns in circulation and the many other ways in which people die everyday. You need to put these events in some perspective and not just regurgitate the latest CNN headline and disaster story.


>The problem is that it is hardly possible to prevent 'bad' people to hold a gun, because if they want to get their hands on a gun, they will find a way. However in the cases described above, the more difficult you make it for them to get at a gun, the better.

You are are correct. Please explain how preventing a "good" person from having a gun makes it harder for a criminal to get one?

Honestly, I can't believe you think this is a clever way to end your post.
