let’s see:
- “more people die from heartattacks than from guns --so why are we even talking about guns.”
- “if this person hadn’t had a gun, he’d have killed with the power of his mind – so why are we even talking about guns.”
- “i heard of this one time where this one good guy with a gun stopped this one bad guy with a gun-- so why aren’t we talking about all the good things guns do.”
- “it’s not guns that kill people, it’s crazy people who kill people. and by definition anybody who kills somebody is crazy – so lets talk about mental health instead.”
- “there are too many guns in america anyway. criminals will always find a gun. and by definition anybody who kills somebody is a criminal – so lets talk about crime instead.”
- “let’s not talk about deaths due to suicide, and accidents involving guns – these are the results of irresponsible gun ownership. and by definition anybody who lets these things happen is irresponsible – so lets talk about stupid people instead.”
- “why can’t i have nice things!”
have i covered it? we’ve got comment bingo, and white terrorist bingo – maybe we need a gun/comment mash up edition.
