Ah, I was wondering how long it was going to take you to get to No True Scotsman...not long at all.
So my question still stands; if people are the problem, then why do you want to let the problem have guns? Because that doesn't translate to safety and protection. You even say so yourself here by qualifying it.
The only explanation is that you're a fucking idiot.
The primary source of guns for criminals are gun owners.
So you buy a gun to protect your home and car from criminals armed with guns they stole from homes and cars.
So that makes you a fucking stupid idiot who is caught up in a bloody and cynical capitalist cycle of violence.
That is another leftist lie. Before you rant, you should get your facts straight.
But with that, why are most of these mass shootings in states with the strictest gun regulations? Try to answer honestly without your usual stupidity and ignorance.
Several lies here. Let's start with the leading death for children. That would be automobile accidents.
As for gun deaths:
20,138
The estimated number of firearm deaths, excluding suicides, in 2022
120 percent
The increase in the firearm suicide rate among Black teenagers over the last decade
16.5 million
The number of guns Americans bought in 2022
At least 672 people have been killed in mass shootings, and more than 2,700 have been injured.
Doing the math based on the data, mass shootings are account for 3.3% of the total non-suicide shootings in America. A very small portion of total.

Already answered. Why do you think laws prevent criminals from committing crimes? If that were true, there'd be no crime, right?
PROJECTION.
Probably because people have a sense of entitlement that they can do whatever they want because you tell them that all the goddamn time.
LINK please.
That's a very lame argument. So your solution is to confiscate and ban gun ownership?
PROJECTION and lunatic strawman argument.
Ok, so if you know that criminals are going to break the law, and breaking the law sometimes entails stealing things, then why do you want to give criminals something deadly to steal?
Because guns are one of the things criminals are looking for when they break into your home, business, or car.
You're so fucking stupid that you buy a gun to protect your home, business, or car from criminals armed with guns they stole from homes, businesses, and cars.
So all you're doing by owning a gun is adding to the supply of guns criminals steal.
So your gun ownership isn't doing anything to prevent crime, and in fact, is enabling crime because guns are a target of thieves.
No, you didn't answer it, you deflected by playing a semantic game around "give" and "have".
And then you went and deleted the post on this thread, like a little fucking bitch.
^ what a laughable moron.
Oh, he totally nailed you! Deal with it.
What would you know about the questionnaire? You apparently seldom leave your basement. Any question that asks for personal information to check your background is intrusive you dumb leftist hack.
Of course, to Marxist morons like you, The State has more rights. Dunce.
Precisely. If there were "intrusive background checks" in Texas, the Uvalde massacre would never have happened.
Here ya go, dipshit:
Source and Use of Firearms Involved in Crimes: Survey of Prison Inmates, 2016
An estimated 287,400 prisoners had possessed a firearm during their offense. Among these, more than half (56%) had either stolen it (6%), found it at the scene of the crime (7%), or obtained it off the street or from the underground market (43%). Most of the remainder (25%) had obtained it from a family member or friend, or as a gift. Seven percent had purchased it under their own name from a licensed firearm dealer.

So as I said, the primary source of guns for criminals are gun owners themselves...and that's according to the people currently sitting in jail for breaking the law.
I doubt that you have sufficient intelligence and grey matter between your ears to comprehend how stupid that statement is.
You have nothing credible to back up these incredibly moronic statements.
There you go again with the triggered lie filled strawmen. I don't think you can post without lying and looking like a triggered moron.
Now you're going from lying moron to lunatic on steroids.
OK, I asked you how intrusive the background check really is, and instead of answering, you bullshit me.
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO MADE THE CLAIM.
Now you refuse to show your work, and it's obvious why...you're full of shit.
