America: #1 globally in mass shootings

Yeah I'll be there, lol. That whole incident could have been prevented, being that Chris Hurst, Allison's boyfriend has psychic abilities. At 06:34 he posted her death on his Twitter account. The first shot didn't ring out until 06:46. Go figure that one out.

I reread the first 6-7 pages (I got bored after that) of this thread and could not find one person here who blamed the Va. killings on lax gun control laws. I read a lot about the mental state of the shooter. Maybe you can give us some examples of people who have put the PRIMARY blame on guns.

Nice of you to qualify your claim. "Primary" cause of the shooting...only the most idiotic, die hards deny that the shooter had some responsibility but will still go after the guns first. The proof is in the laws suggested that all had as a component firearm restrictions and not mental restrictions.

Obama
Hillary
Al Sharpton
Jesse Jackson
Louis Farrakhan
Bernie Sanders

but who's counting?

As for gun free zones...they don't work. We become aware of them when they fail don't we? No crime has ever been averted because the killing zone was gun free. Criminals and suicide shooters don't care about the rules.

No, I don't think so.

Go look here, same tweet with the time of 8:34, because that's what time it was in the time zone the viewer was viewing it in. This is common knowledge, not sure why people are freaking out.

You know I can go on but to what point. You're just come with some stupid reason why it doesn't count. Anyway, only one is needed as an example and disproves what you believe.

Hard to believe, but military bases are gun free zones. Particularly the exchange.

Prove to me that ANY of the sites of mass killings were chosen because they were gun free zones. Bet you can't. Pure conjecture. On the other hand, just about every mass killing in a gun free zone can be explained as to why the killer chose the site, and it had NOTHING to do with it being a gun free zone. As I said, feel free to present PROOF to the contrary, not opinion.

You also conveniently forget. I pointed out a murder that happened in NE Austin a few years back. Two guys get into an argument in a strip club which was a gun free zone. They went outside at which time one of the two went into his vehicle, got his gun, and killed the other guy. GUN FREE ZONE WORKED!! The only time we hear about a gun free zone working is when someone is immediately killed after leaving the gun free zone, which is rare. So your statement that no crime has ever been averted because the killing zone was gun free is 100% WRONG.
