Yeah, it's a absurd, fact-free topic that makes blanket adjudications of guilt. Please tell us how Prohibition eliminated drinking and the War on Drugs eliminated cartels. Explain how 1 man can rampage through a US military facility filled with hundreds of people unopposed for 40 minutes as he slaughters a dozen people. 40 minutes. You succeeded in disarming everyone of the people in that facility. You must be proud.

Grabber logic, indeed.
