I guess we're all happy then. I get to logically point out how guns do less harm than things you don't care about limiting further, you get to make fun of me with emotion-based appeals. Win / win!
I love how you keep making this argument because that means we get to keep making fun of you for it.

Just a reminder. Since this shooting about four months ago, more innocent victims have died from second hand smoke in that time than will die from all gun murders and accidents combined for the entire year. And the anti-2A left doesn't care about that, they only care about further limiting much less harmful guns... "to save lives".
Hey guy, let's not kid ourselves. We all know you're the one who is arguing purely based on emotion. Remember those reams of empirical research that you declared all didn't count because they were too 'high level'? (ie: you had no answer for them) That was pretty amusing.
As for your overall argument that in order to want to restrict gun ownership further we have to restrict literally every other thing in society that causes more deaths until we get deaths for them below gun body counts is comically stupid and is just another whataboutism. You are only making this argument because you can't defend gun ownership on the merits.
It is true, the statistic you parrot is stupid and worthless in any meaningful way.
I never said we can't do anything about guns until we do something about everything else. I'm just pointing out your (the anti-2A'ers) silliness and hypocrisy, pretending you're on a quest to save lives while you don't care about other things that harm us in much greater numbers. You simply do not care about saving lives, that is not the real goal, the goal is to limit the 2A because the right is pro-2A, and that's your warped politics today.
It's sad that the last scene in that clip won't really resonate like it should.I just came across a timeline video from the new York times.
It has actual footage and shows how he brought 20+ bags to his room and it gives you a good idea of spacing.

We still don't have a motive though.

If all the concert goers had been carrying long guns they could have defended themselves by firing back at the hotel.My personal takeaway is that we should arm bellhops.
