Yes it raises it to 5, (if you count the two columbine minors as just 1).
Which still means that a Age Restriction for people below 21 would apply to only 1/3 of the mass shootings in the last 10 years.


And of those five some were outside the applicable age anyhow. So it's moot.

Well, if a regulation wouldn't've stopped all previous mass shootings, I guess it's just not worth considering. After all, who wants to only manage to prevent a couple mass shootings? :p

Yes, and some were under 18, meaning a shift of age from 18 to 21 wouldn't effect them.

But you don't understand; we're not allowed to suggest anything that won't prevent 100% of mass shootings.

That's why we need to be like enlightened Britain and ban carrying potato peelers in public, even if it saves just one life, it's worth it!

BAN ASSAULT POTATO PEELERS

You'll be sorry when your children get mauled by grizzly potatos.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.
