Serious Questions For Those Who Oppose Gun Laws [View all]

In the wake of the latest example of America’s ridiculous and indefensible gun culture, a few questions for those who perpetuate this idiocy:

If an armed society is a polite society, then do you agree that the problem in Chicago is that there just aren’t enough guns?

In which of two fantasy worlds—one where everyone had a gun, and one where no one had a gun—would more people die by violence?

How do we tell the difference between an Open Carry activist and a murderer who just came to the fast food place to kill as many people as possible? Do we just wait until they start shooting?
