A couple of questions to establish your expertise on this matter. Have you ever seen what results when a panicked crowd is caught in crossfire? Have you ever witnessed the aftermath of a suicide or any other type of bombing?

You mean in real life? No. Yes to all if you mean on video.

Over site, my bad.

I pulled an air rifle out on someone who entered my property (front yard) once. I didn't have to shoot, they left.

I don't understand how it's difficult to see that a gun is a MAJOR deterrent for others, whether they're armed or not.

And please remember that I've never claimed that they're aren't any negative factors of the public having guns.

I'm also glad that I didn't have a gun on me once when I was robbed at gun point, otherwise that would have been stolen too, LoL.

Haha, exactly, and they will continue to target places where people are UNARMED (when using guns themselves).

To agree that they want to take as many lives as possible, but not think that they would naturally prefer to target places where people don't have guns is completely illogical to me.

Simple as that.

LoL, you make it seem as if I argued any of this.

Again, you appear to be one that's so brainwashed about guns that you truly believe guns are ALWAYS 100% BAD all of the time and have no effectiveness whatsoever no matter what.

And yes, if they have a gun and are trying to shoot dead as many people as they can, then they are a mass shooter. Blowing themselves up is just the icing on the cake.

At least we agree that these killers are after the highest number of dead they can get.

Ok fine, let's just agree with you....

Mass shooters would have much higher kill numbers if they targeted armed groups of people, but because they have been in contact with guns so much the stupidness has worn off on them and they are unable to find these armed civilians and go after unarmed civilians instead, which obviously reduces their kill numbers.
