No, I hate people dying unnecessarily because of the USA's fucked up firearm regulations. Or, rather, lack thereof.

You said that you don't agree with background checks on all sales, or firearm licenses for ownership and carry. That's not a strawman. Those are the most basic firearm regulations possible. They make it slightly more difficult to obtain a deadly weapon, and you don't agree with them.

Your words, my application to reality.

I said I don't necessarily agree, not that I'm opposed if done right. But if you're not even going to discuss my actual views I think we're done here.

Russia is not an EU state

What when did the EU come into this'll your simply stating mass shootings of this caliber only happen in America and both of us have given you three separate examples outside of the US that happened in the last 17 years.

Weak argument. The weapons used in all those cases including Las Vegas were by all likehood illegal.

The Gun used in Mandalay was full auto. Possibly even an LMG.

Perhaps use your words more carefully, because I'm not going to spend my day second-guessing you if you say "I don't agree with background checks and firearm licenses".

Didn't he shoot himself when police arrived?
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

People don't need to be packing heat everywhere they go if there's a near certainty that the guy they pass on the street isn't also packing heat.

Kinda like how no private citizens own a functioning Abrams tank or Predator drone, so nobody else needs to arm themselves similarly.

it's not a strawman if you clarify yourself after the fact. But if it really irritates you so much then I retract what I said.
