@Profepps That's an arg for getting rid of all guns. Doesn't explain massive rise in # of guns while violence cratered b/w 70's & today?
PUA culture, mental illness not but-for causes of UCSB shooting; plentiful cheap unregulated guns is but-for. Less guns less mass shootings

@kkaplan 25-30K since Newtown is "cratering"? Terminology check. -
@Profepps The murder rate per 100k ppl was 10.2 in 1980, 9.4 in 1990 and 4.7 today - while # of guns skyrocketed http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm … -
@kkaplan The average number of mass shootings in the US has tripled in recent years, according to DOJ. -
@Profepps Are we talking about 30k deaths or mass shootings? The solutions to each are not the same at all. -
@kkaplan we are talking about both and fewer guns will help in either case. -
@Profepps It's an incremental arg when we need a thoughtful one. I'd prefer a better way to make it difficult for those who shouldn't have -
@kkaplan we will agree to differ then.
