(312 posts)The very real and true statistics are our there and very easily found. Handguns are used in the overwhelming majority of gun violence, not semi-automatic rifles. You are just wrong in that assumption and claim. Argue with real, statistically true, and provable numbers or go home.
Answer me a couple of questions please. In what mass shooting was a legally possessed firearm used and who used them?
Oakland has very tough gun laws, that is a fact. Oakland has a very high gun violence problem, another fact. The people who own the legally guns are not the ones who are doing the violence. The violence is done by those with illegal guns.
Even in a place that has very strict gun laws it is still criminals who ignore the laws and have illegal guns who do the damage.
