Gun rights explored in provocative ‘Well Armed Militias’ exhibit at Spaces

Shocked that this isn't in NY. The comments are mostly pro-gun though FWIW.

Then again, America has been awash in mass shootings for years. CBS news reported that as of September 1, the 244th day of the year, there were 283 mass shootings in the U.S., according to data compiled by the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive.

How in the name of Zues' butthole can there be 283 mass shootings in 9 months? That's 31.44 per month or at least one per day.

Y'know, if you're going to insult my intelligence just jack it up to over 1000 in 9 months .... just in the spirit of making shit up.

Because when only government owns the guns you have few options.

You know who had a lot of mass shootings ?

Germany in the 40's, Soviet Russia. Maoist China. Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, the list goes on and on.

Way worse mass shootings than we have, to say nothing of the 10's of millions more murdered without guns in those countries.

Hell, even here in this country the greatest mass shootings were conducted by the government.

Maybe we need to go back to the way it was and ban government guns, and when they need someone with a gun they need to call a private citizen.

283 "mass shootings" in 9 months is about correct when you use their definition of "mass shooting" which is 4 or more people shot (not necessarily killed) in once incident. Typically, at least one such incident happens every weekend in the city of Chicago alone.

So when you make up stupid terms for the express purposes of making them political (you know, like assault weapon?) you get to define them and make them sound as scary as you want. This is just one place where the political left plays the game better than the political right.

The militia verbiage should be 2nd priority in arguing with these idiots. The primary line of argument should always be private property.
