    Yes yes, “the truth” is a strawman. Why pretend it is? Even if it once was why pretend people are just walking around with those all the time when we both know it isn’t true?

      The truth is you’re dismissing the death and suffering of countless people because it might inconvenience you in the pursuit of your gun fetish. Which is what the article is attempting to address and that you are desperately trying to deflect from.

      So now that we’ve established this, we can go our separate ways.

        I’m not dismissing it, I’m talking about something else (and also I addressed it, the fact that it only accounts for less than 500 out of 60,000 and banning ar15s is pointless, that part. Or would you prefer I mention the fact that more mass shootings are already currently committed with handguns, and even then they only account for .001% of gun deaths per year?) Am I also currently dismissing elephants because the conversation isn’t about them?
