Yep, the ignorance on the anti-gun side beggars belief frankly, even the so called academics dont seem to accept the statistics. Just reading the anti-gun comments and I can see how clueless they are.

Things like ban "assault weapons" yet most mass killings in the USA are with handguns. Which makes sense actually, easy to hide so you can get into the school un-noticed, and you dont want a "long ar15" when you walk into a class room. Surely you want a handgun (plus a spare in a holster) in each hand holding 15 rounds each or even one of those snail mags holding a shag load of rounds and just start blasting at 5metres.

had an interesting "discussion" with some americans they were all for banning ARs but wanted to keep their handguns for their own self-defence. Yets when I pointed out most killings were with handguns (accidents, mass killings, self-defence etc) they just could not accept that they and their handguns were the biggest problem and the easiest fix.
