    My point is a gun can kill a LOT more people, a LOT faster, with LESS skill than any other comparable tool

    You mean like…a truck? Like the French one that was used to kill and maim way more people than any gun in American history?

      This is such a bad faith argument. If trucks were the supreme killing instrument then each soldier would be issued a truck.

        The only “bad faith argument” is you pretending not to understand why that makes zero sense.

        The difference is guns are better suited to destroying a specific target. But these people obviously aren’t targeting anyone at all.

        If you lined up a street full of ISIL terrorists, the truck would be the far more effective weapon.

                No, that is NOT what I said. You obviously have no interest in a good faith discussion so I’m not going to engage with you any further. Goodbye.

                  You may not have technically said it but you were implying it. Or maybe you just meant that a truck is comparable or equal to guns? Why exactly are you bringing up trucks? You are trying to distract from the very valid and obvious fact that guns are designed to kill and some gun platforms are designed to kill people in combat situations and those designs that are picked by the military for very good reasons are also picked by these people for pretty much the same set of reasons. A truck, given the right specific set of circumstances can be devastating and yet the military and these scum bag shooters pick guns because they are designed to be a highly effective killing tool in pretty much any circumstance. Goodbye goober.

      To my knowledge, most countries require YEARS of training and certification in order to be able to drive a vehicle, for that very reason dumbass. Do mass vehicular murder incidents happen as much as mass shootings? No

        Let me get this straight; You think driver training teaches you how not to murder people…? Is that right?

        …and I’m the dumbass
