How would you respond to this?

[Hanse Davion]

I frequent FB conversations that bring up current gun control issues. Since there was a complaint that my previous post on the issue was too lengthy, I wanted to ask how you would all response to this article posted on the onion. http://www.theonion.com/articles/bre...eadline,31210/

What would you say in response?

Reply, in the same time frame, how many deaths from alcohol, how many from car crashes.

The obvious answer would be to carry a gun. If mass shootings were this common it wouldn't matter to me whether it was legal or not!

It's the Onion - nothing they say is true, and only some of it is funny.

funny stuff on that site.

That's actually a very telling article by the Onion. I think it's practically true, very dark humor. These days, people wouldn't be surprised in the least to hear about some guy who snapped and gunned down numerous women and children. How sad and pessimistic.

Since making guns illegal didn't solve the problem, all places where people congregate shall be made illegal. It's just common sense.

Just make up a story where 320 people didnt die because thry had a gun to protect themselves with.... And the reason no one hears about it is because most people only read fske stories on the onion.

[Carnivore]

Really none of you people get it? Ya it's the onion but that is the most honest and accurate story I have heard from any source in years. So sad that it comes from a completely bogus media source and no one really gets it. WOW...

That, and the 55 million abortions that pale the number of gun related deaths in the past 30+ years
