That's just school shootings, not all mass shootings. What is a mass shooting to you, more than 2, evidently. Guess I can't directly refute that, but to me, you need more.
Also, will a psycho that can't get a gun find another method every time?
I'm not a psychologist, but if you're mentally unstable enough to want to kill people that badly, not getting a gun isn't gonna stop you.
Nor am I, but people who are mentally unstable enough to want to commit suicide are more likely to do so if there is a gun in the house. That says something, I think.
Post research of this statement. Many of the country's with the top suicide rates in the world have some of the most stringent gun control, and they simply have a different primary means of suicide. So what you are basically saying is that you have a problem that people opt to choose a relatively painless way to die as opposed to other ways.
Wow, strikingly unimportant statement!
If your statement was accurate, explain why the highest guns per capita in the WORLD is #48 on the list of suicide rates. Because according to your twisted logic, more access to guns means a higher chance of suicide no?

Can you tell me where I mentioned gun control?

Suicide has to have several factors to occur. Having the means does not mean suicide will happen.
In other words, guns do not cause people to kill themselves.
No kidding. But guns will make it more likely. Australia's suicide rate dropped dramatically. Why do you have so much trouble acknowledging well-known facts? Your argument is basically "There are people who own guns that don't kill themselves." No shit. It reeks of desperation.
Do you have any evidence to support the suicide rate dropping? The 'gun ban' in Australia did not make much of a dent in homicides in Australia overall, so I'd like to see that statistic.
