Yup, you're right, because millions of people have owned guns legally for hundreds of years, it's their fault and blood is on their hands for this mass shooting.

Your past failure to learn from these continued atrocities is your complicity. Your current preference to protect the tools of violence over lives is your complicity. Your future vote to keep the status quo even as history repeats itself is your complicity.

Yup my failure to learn is my complicity, it's all my fault. You sure know a lot about me. I'm going to need a few to come up with a better reply though, I've been coughing up straw all day.

Guns three hundred years ago were only slightly more dangerous than a guy with a rock and a mean your mama so fat joke. It isn't hundreds of years it's like 150 years.

I'd rather be shot with a modern hollow point today with modern medicine than shot with ball ammo and get the medical care from 300 years ago, but that's just me.

Literally not even remotely relevant to what the conversation was but go off.

I'd also rather get hit with a semi truck today with modern medicine than get run over by a horse and carriage in 1840.

But I don't see what that has to do with the fact that a semi truck traveling at max speed can level a small building vs a carriage just kinda flattening it's own horses on impact.

I don't see what any of this has to do with anything honestly. But go off.

Yes it is literally just you. You are the only person on earth gaming out situations where you have a choice between getting shot 300 years ago or shot today.
