    f someone said “it’s unfortunate that some people die in car crashes, but that doesn’t mean we should ban cars”, and then they’re killed by a drunk driver,

    The apt analogy would be if someone said: “drunk drivers kill some people, unfortunately, but that is the price to have all the booze we want”… and then they get killed by a drunk driver

      Well, that’s not quite as good an analogy, because it’s not the alcohol itself that causes the death, re a drunk driver. It would be equally as strong as my analogy, however, if it was tweaked to ‘it’s unfortunate that some people die from alcohol poisoning, but that doesn’t mean we should ban alcohol’.

        he was never referring to the shooters dying… he was talking about the innocent lives the shooter easily takes with a gun

        if you are going to troll, at least put your mind to it
