is Columbine less meaningful because there were 2 shooters instead of 1?
10 people with knives attacked, and killed 36 people

So why did you post it in the gun control thread, aside from trying to be a faggot?
Are you saying they would have killed fewer people if they had been armed with guns?

To point out that gun control in the end is meaningless and pointless. If you really want to kill someone, you don't need a gun

Right cause I'm sure thousands of American Inventors would still die in Chicago every year if they only had knives instead of handguns.

Well, actually that's a bad example. That city should be fenced off for 10 years and allowed to rot.

Apparently these are part of the findings from obama's investigation into gun violence ordered after sandy hook
1. Most gun deaths in the US are due to suicide, not violent crimes with guns or accidental shootings. This is a said statistic, but again, this goes back to mental healthcare, not guns.
2. Mass shootings account for a negligible amount of crime in the US. In fact, mass shootings are one of the rarest forms of violent crime in the country.
3. This one is probably our favorite. The study admits that self defense is a common occurrence and happens at least as much violent crimes involving guns. This is a direct busted myth to the anti gun argument that guns are almost never used for self defense.
4. Furthermore, on self defense, if you carry a gun and fight back against a violent assailant, you are less likely to be killed or harmed than someone who decided to fight back and employ another self defense tactic or weapon.

But every gun owner in this country is just a wannabe militia solider wanting to overthrow the ebil gubment! Guns can't possibly save lives or do any form of good!
Yeah, dare I say it, but one of the few reasons to check The Blaze (other than reading idiotic comments) is that almost every day there is a story about a successful home defense with a gun. Not sure how anyone thinks it is a rare occurrence.

Yes he was a 'random' guy totally not trying to exercise his right to protest DC gun laws, and this was a totally above board raid. /sarc

He broke the law, and was arrested for it. What a scandal.
Thats the only problem I have with this.

He was raided b/c there is a video of him having a loaded weapon, and it's illegal there. That seems like a simple connection. Even if it the libertarian dream was enacted across all 50 states and all territories I would still find it very reasonable to prohibit loaded weapons in the capital.
It's not even that limiting anymore. You could probably set up a Barrett M82 outside the border of the federal district and put the whole place on notice while being within your rights, assuming you're even allowed to aim a gun in the direction of POTUS, which you probably shouldn't be.

Yea, I hate to say it but this guy had it coming. A video of him doing it isn't enough for them to convict the guy (I think), but it seems like it would be enough to go get a warrant and perform the raid.
The flashbang was excessive.
Pro tip: Don't keep illegal substances around if you are going to poke the State in the eye.
