    Just look at counties without school shootings, the answer is pretty obvious: none of them have… video games, mental illness, or Democrats.

    The fact that they don’t have an insane amount of privately owned firearms, or the ability to purchase them legally, easily, and with barely any restrictions, is just a coincidence. Definitely not relevant.

      But then they bring up Switzerland’s huge stockpile of guns.

      Without mentioning they only have them through military training, meaning they are fully trained on gun safety.

      Or that they aren’t allowed to have ammo for those guns.

        Oh shit I forgot that Eric Harris and Adam Lanza both claimed Crips. I heard they C walked down the hallways as they shot up the schools.

        I honestly can’t tell if you’re intentionally giving bad faith arguments, or just stupid. But I’m betting it’s the latter.
