    The fact that the media reports shootings in the vicinity of schools as school shootings to pump up the numbers is evidence on my side.

      Evidence for what? That people don’t want what they want? You have provided no evidence that people don’t actually want what they say they want, and no arguments as to why they shouldn’t want that. For someone that was previously so concerned about “what the public wants” you are pretty quick to dismiss what the public wants.

          And what does that have to do with you claiming people don’t actually want what they say they want, or why they shouldn’t want it?

          You don’t listen. I never argued against your claims that school shootings were over reported, but that is the argument you have primed so you ignore what’s actually being said.

          Also: “It’s okay guys, there were 11 school shootings 2015!” Is a bizarre argument for why there shouldn’t be more strict gun control laws in place.

            It was just an example of highly exaggerated “news” pushing anti-gun opinions. It’s also extremely obvious so I thought it was a good thing to point out. It’s all part of the won’t someone please think of the children angle to try and convince people to give up their rights. Don’t get me wrong Fox News is absolute shit but that doesn’t excuse the other side telling lies.
