      You said ‘straw man’ because the debate starts with the scourge of gun violence , not rare mass shootings. I responded with the wapo headline to blow your straw man away.

      I’m getting less and less interested in your debate with @RogueRad if you can’t muster actual logical counters.

      There is none to grasp in your argument. Immigrants are less likely to commit crime and amplifying rare events to suggest otherwise is bigotry. Increased gun density, trafficking, absent screening etc increases rare events and increases every day risk. Apples and oranges.

      If I may interject - since it appears that I am arguing with both of you. Gun control, in as far as mass killings, is faith - may or may not work. I’m fine with that

      Thats at the edge of the data. There is reason to believe red flag laws, safe storage requirements, increasing age and better background checks could help. Roof, for instance, should have been stopped by checks but for a loophole.

      Also, remember that the argument being promulgated by pro-gun activists is that we should do nothing because nothing works, plus the Nirvana fallacy, in which it is argued that if a proposed policy won't stop ALL mass shootings it's worthless shouldn't be tried.

      Hell. They’re arguing, as always, more guns are needed. Arm the homeless (no shit that was not the Onion). Same answer to every problem. Mass shooters? More guns. Domestic violence? More guns. Stubborn stains? More guns. Damn the evidence they make things worse.

      I’m really quite surprised this issue is so divisive. I get the NRA. But how guns came to be associated with markets & freedom is something I struggle to understand

      It was a quite intentional strategy on the part of the @NRA, that's how.

          My point is that there’s nothing in classic liberal philosophy that pits one against gun control. Of course, the NRA haven’t helped matters

          Perhaps, but equating your cause with freedom and your opponents with wanting to take away that freedom has always been a compelling strategy in the US. Antivaxers have now started to have success using the same playback with respect to school vaccine mandates.
