37. I would ask the "bat, shoestring, and pickle" gun-apologists to show where any of those items

Or knives for that matter. There have been several stories in the last few years of crazies using knives to attack a large number of people. The results were something like "Thirty wounded, none dead, in knife attack", or "Fifteen injured, one dead in knife attack".

When murderers want headlines like "Fifty-three dead, eighty wounded", they use a gun. Or several guns.
