    Had he driven a truck through the crowd, probably several hundred.

    Had he planted a bomb, probably several thousand.

    Evil is seldom limited to a single means of destruction.

    I did give a straight answer. What part of it didn't you understand?

    Strange. We had the same king. And we're not obsessed...

    You mean Obama wanted to save lives by restricting gun ownership? Sounds pretty good to me.

    Not 58 of us in one go...come back to me on that one when it happens. Until then, apples and oranges...

    I see...so, because rape also happens, we shouldn't try to tackle murder? Because there is cancer, we shouldn't try to cure heart disease?

    7 July 2005 London bombings 52 dead, 700+ injured

    2 June 2010 Cumbria shootings 12 dead, 11 injured

    22 March 2017 London, England 6 dead, 49 injured

    22 May 2017 Manchester, England 23 dead 250+ injured

    3 June 2017 London, England 8 dead, 48 injured

    Why didn't you do anything to stop this slaughter?

    Seems to me you should clean up your own country before giving advice on how we should clean up ours. Especially in light of the fact that England has a violent crime rate 5 times higher than the US.

    No, obviously you don't see. I never said any such thing. Rape is illegal. Murder is illegal. A law abiding citizen owning a gun is not illegal.

    Tell me how many of those were gun massacres? Cumbria is the only one on your list. But, you know, if you want to move the goalposts to include terrorist attacks and body counts rather than guns which I thought this thread was about , then let's talk 9/11: 3000+ dead...

    I did. What part didn't you understand? Just let me know. I will try to explain it to you using little words and short sentences.

    None. That's the point! Disarming the law abiding citizens didn't stop the mass murders!

    You see, there's your problem: they're all law abiding citizens legally owning firearms...until they're pointing the legally owned firearm at you and pulling the trigger. Get back to me when you've solved that one...

    Works here. And in Australia. Plus explain how gun toting civilians in London would have stopped the 7/7 bombs?

    The list of mass killings proves it doesn't work.

    You see, there's your problem: they're all law abiding citizens legally having two hands...until they're punching you in the nose with those legal two hands. So, according to your idiotic theory everybody should have to have their hands amputated.

    Explain how many of those were (a) caused by guns or (b) would have been prevented by guns
