True but this fact has served us well in the past

Yes, and the areas with the fewest armed citizens have the highest crime rates.

I’d read that this quote wasn’t made by him.

I confess not reading the link, but here’s something to ask the “thoughtful people”: Which of these massacres were perpetrated by concealed-carry permit holders?

In the last 30 years there has never been a single instance of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy intent on killing a bunch of people... 30 years.

Have at it!

Here’s a helpful fact for Mr Benz and his ‘thoughtful people’:

The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is non-negotiable, regardless of what your selected ‘facts’ imply.

Non-negotiable as in don’t even bother.

“This is the 264th mass shooting this year. Yes, 264 mass shootings in less than a year.”

And this is the 10,000th article about these mass shooters.

I propose a “High-capacity” journalism ban - ONE article on the shooting and that is it - the shooter is no more than a footnote in history - no “continuing coverage” to glorify the creep.

Mercer was obsessed with how much notoriety the other shooters received.

Does anyone in the media make a connection?

Actually not true; Switzerland & Israel are both more heavily armed when you consider military weapons kept at home. Civilian versus military weapons in the home is a difference without a distinction.

“Every 6 hours in America more people die from gun violence than were killed by terrorists in all of 2014.”

In the prior sentence, the author says “33,000” are killed per year via gun violence.

Assuming the author lives on a planet similar to earth which has a 24 hour day, there are 1460 six-hour periods in a 365 day year. If 33,000 people are killed in 1460 periods, that means that no more than 22 people were killed by terrorism in 2014.

And if you believe that, you are a flaming innumerate idiot.

Funny...the SFGate comments are going up, but it won’t take my rebuttal to some erroneous claims.
