And what does that have to do with you claiming people don’t actually want what they say they want, or why they shouldn't want it?
You don't listen. I never argued against your claims that school shootings were over reported, but that is the argument you have primed so you ignore what's actually being said.
Also: "It's okay guys, there were 11 school shootings 2015!" Is a bizarre argument for why there shouldn't be more strict gun control laws in place.
It was just an example of highly exaggerated "news" pushing anti-gun opinions. It's also extremely obvious so I thought it was a good thing to point out. It's all part of the won't someone please think of the children angle to try and convince people to give up their rights. Don't get me wrong Fox News is absolute shit but that doesn't excuse the other side telling lies.
