An active shooter can certainly kill people without a gun, not sure what your argument is there. We can even see in other countries that don't have guns what people replace them with, it's typically cars, bombs, knives, and acid.

More than half of 172, so at least 50% occurred after 2000 so at least 87 happened after (likely more) with a third happening after 2010, meanwhile there were a total of at least 62 “in the last decade” so at least from 2012-2022.

No one is saying a gun or a car is at fault. You fail to recognize that it isn’t an attack on guns or cars, it’s the recognition that people will use tools to commit murder and taking steps to prevent people from A, gaining access to those tools and B, taking steps towards making those tools less effective to save lives…

Anonymous replying to -> #6 19h

Making guns less effective and removing peoples access will also inevitably lead to death in its own right from the lack of defensive gun use. Even the lowest estimates possible figure that guns are used defensively more than guns cause death, but the majority put the number above criminal use of guns in general.

Plus that takes away from every other part of lawful gun use as well, target shooting and hunting both require highly effective weapons.
