Not having access to firearms has not prevented such acts in the past, nor have the police

Yes it has and goddamn I’m tired of showing you morons the science you refuse to look for, (because you don’t like it.)

First off, if a law which prevented someone from getting a gun did actually prevent a massacre, how would you know about it? You got some Minority Report precogs in a kiddy pool?

Gun control works on gun violence as surely as antibiotics do on bacterial infections

Do bacterial infections still happen? Yeah. Even really bad ones when antibiotics, for some reason, don’t work? Yeah.

Does that mean antibiotics don’t work and shouldn’t be used? Ni ofc fucking not.

If you can’t see how “gun control won’t ever work” is garbage quality American gun lobby rhetoric, then you should never discuss politics, ever.
