Is that what happened here though? Here's the full conversation. Something was brought up about links between violent videogames and school shootings, I responded and started off my post referring to the videogame argument because I thought it was a silly argument, as did you when you reacted to that same argument.

“Many in legacy media love mass shootings. You guys love it” . “Now I’m not saying that you love the tragedy. But I am saying that you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold to you and many in the legacy media in the back.”

That Dana Loesch woman is a complete nutjob. There's more ads like that, though that's certainly the worst one. Says a lot that of all things her NRA position is an official spokeswoman. Surely it's not that hard to find a mentally stable strong pro-gun advocate

It showed that pro-gun right wingers would use extremely idiotic arguments to defend their guns.
If you're going by the logic where you say "Hey look! Guns are illegal in this country, but someone still obtained them illegally on the black market and managed to kill a bunch of people", then what would your counter-argument be to someone who wants to legalize murder saying "Murder is illegal, but people still murder people every day, so what's the point of having it illegal to begin with?"

He ain't beating every single one of those charges.

It really is amazing how fast this special counsel is proceeding though. Hopefully not too rushed but this blows the Watergate timeline out of the water.

Murder is illegal... and yet... the Parkland shooter continued..
Sadly you can't legislate away hateful people doing hateful things. The solution is changing hearts and minds. Of course that isn't a real solution. And I don't know the solution to prevent these types of tragedies.
Perhaps finding ways to limit the damage is a start. But this wasn't an automatic weapon. It didnt have bumpstocks, it was as fast as you can pull the trigger just like a regular handgun.
I understand the need to feel like surely some legislation will change these situations. There is comfort in the assumption. The reality is the majority of mentally ill and gun owners do not shoot up schools full of children. In fact, these tragedies are very infrequent. They are always wrong and unneccessary but to this point I dont see realistic solutions on either side.
Arming teachers: They likely won't be sharp shooters and have the ability to neutralize threats efficiently
Bump stocks: Pretty much bipartisan support. But won't prevent these tragedies, but it will limit the damage. Again, pulse nightclub, charleston, and parkland didnt use bumpstocks.
Mental health: Super broad resolution. Likely would result in stigmatizing mentally ill people as a group.
Additional security at school: People don't want to feel like they are in a warzone
The discussion is important. I don't have the answers, but the options on both sides, to this point, don't look that good.
As always, after these tragedies people are highly emotional and looking for someone to blame. The NRA and guns are easy targets.

It’s all love brethren. I just cannot for the life of me understand the logic behind anyone who thinks guns being easier to attain than a drivers license is a good idea.
I’m sure you’re super chill irl since youre an NTer (no sarcasm). We just have complete opposite opinions on this

Forgot the customary response to any new developments in the special counsel probe.
Where's the evidence?
Has anyone been arrested yet?
Where's Russia?
Where are the charges that don't go back 10 years?
Where are the guilty pleas?
Has Trump been arrested yet?
Has anyone been convicted yet?
