First off, I do support the right to bear arms. I do strongly support it & believe it to be the bulwark of liberty, but here are some NRA-style arguments that don't make much sense.
If someone had a gun there wouldn't have been a shooting.
This is a very poor argument. I doubt bringing more weapons into a violent situation will pacify anything. More likely you will just end up with more corpses.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
Actually, some mental healthcare would do a great deal of good. Might also help if said healthcare was provided by the government and didn't cost a fortune. But that would be socialism (the worst thing of all)!
It's the videogames/medicine/liberal Media!
A convenient way to avoid a discussion about gun control or free mental healthcare. When all alse fails, blame something else for gun violence!
