Think the issue is that the private sale doesn't have a NICS attached to it, so someone that might not necessarily pass one at an FFL still has options to get one.

I'm well aware of that. However, nobody seems to be able to link to a single event where someone doing such when and murdered someone with the gun they got at a gun show that they couldn't legally get elsewhere.

And just because in-state private sales don't have NICS background checks attached (and ONLY in-state), doesn't mean there aren't criminal and civil penalties attached to the seller for such a situation.

Here's the thing, if we banned guns, this country would have significantly more stabbings than countries where knives are also legal.

I'll take mass stabbings over mass shootings any day. A gun can kill a dozen people in a few seconds. A dude with a knife won't have nearly the same "success" rate and its significantly easier to fight back against a dude with a knife than one with a gun...

I say that as someone doesn't want to ban guns. I just think the "people will just stab people!" argument is kind of dumb...

Is that why more Londoners have been killed in knife attacs than Americans have been killed in mass shootings so far this year?


Why are you comparing knife deaths (mostly of single victims) to only mass shootings?

Knife deaths in one city compared to mass shootings across a much larger country.


It just seems like a useless stat.

The media likes to make them seem more prevalent than they really are.

Now those Chicago gang shootings. More common and more deaths overall, but do you hear the media making a ruckus about them?

So shootings are only a problem if people get killed?

What the hell is wrong with you?
