If I may refer you to my last post in this group, where a single man killed 5 plus people with a knife in a single setting.

@Tejas Okay, I had missed that but I went back to read it. There was also a case of a Polish national who killed 6 of his family members/friends in France some years ago. Three of them were toddlers. It was horrendous. No one is arguing that violence can and does occur and, until society corrects many of it's ills, this will continue.

However, you are missing my point which is that random, singular killings with items that are not guns are practically inconsequential when compared to murders using guns. There were more than 300 mass killings with guns in the US in the first six months of this year. That excludes individual murders, accidents, and suicides. The number is much, much higher than that at this point. Once that's under control, we can focus on finding ways to stop murders utilizing other tools.

My last post about a mass killing was a man with a knife and bow. Not to mention mass killings with vehicles.

@Tejas So if a few are considered mass what are the hundreds and even thousands considered, by guns!?

@JackPedigo a mass killing is defined where 4 or more people are killed and/or injured in an attack including the attacker

@Tejas Still didn't answer my question.

@JackPedigo I don't think there has ever been a mass shooting where hundreds or thousands have died ever.

@Tejas We are not talking about one incident but several over a short period of time. I am done with this chain.

@JackPedigo well by that logic throughout time I'm sure more people have been killed bladed weapons rather than firearms.

Try to keep up.
