Another guy replied to me, saying that the 6 mass shootings in the last 21 days proves armed self-defense doesn’t work. So, I ask what data he’s referring to, saying that different trackers have very different data (below) and that 95%+ of mass shootings happen in gun-free zones where guns carried for self-defense are prohibited.
Mass Shootings in 2021 finds 26 mass shootings in the last 21 days
Mass Shootings in 2022 | Gun Violence Archive finds 30 in 21 days
US mass shootings, 1982–2022: Data from Mother Jones’ investigation finds only 2 in 21 days
Most Comprehensive Mass Shooter Database - The Violence Project finds 5 in all of 2022
I figure he’s hyperventilating and foaming mad by now, as he replies “what more do you need to prove ‘a good guy with a gun‘ doesn’t work - we need to ban guns.”
A lot of these bleeding-heart progressive liberals are atheist/agnostic and have no faith in God(s), but they seem to have a blind faith in gun control as a solution to evil in this world. Only they expect their heaven on earth, where everyone does what they think the right thing is to do.
