96. Once again, utterly asinine logic.

Yep, mass killers don't look to weapons with large ammo capacity. Who the fuck cares if he would have been more conservative if he had lesser weapons, he probably would have. That doesn't change the fact that the reason he killed so many so easily was because of the ridiculous weapons he had available to him. But go ahead and believe what your NRA daddy tells you to. That's right, guns don't kill people, people kill people. Any more brain dead pablum you want to spew from the NRA? And there's nothing to debate about how our gun culture is killing people. We have more guns per than any other civilized nation in the world and we have LOADS more gun violence than any other civilized nation in the world. But you get your two brain cells together and continue to believe there's no correlation.
