The death tolls change, the locations vary, but public mass shootings remain a constant in the United States. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 12,504 gun deaths in the country this year alone, and even though mass shootings only account for a tiny fraction of this number (307 or 2.5%), these incidents have left the whole country terrified of their wild unpredictability.
The victims of these shootings were innocent people who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This has led many activists to question U.S gun laws, saying that 89 firearms per 100 residents isn't normal. Moreover, a cross-section study found that of all the 50 states, the six states with the strictest gun control had lower suicide rates. Another paper also pointed out that children living in states with stricter gun laws were safer. The list of scientific studies backing-up gun control are numerous, but some people still vehemently disagree with this evidence and argue that guns don't kill people, people do. They also like to spice up the gun control debates by stating that such measures would violate their 2nd amendment rights.
A review of published studies on gun control facts released in October 2003 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was unable to determine any statistically significant effects that would result from such laws, either. It's clear this ongoing debate among Americans isn't slowing down anytime soon, just take a look to the savage roasts on Twitter. However, within the many, many tweets that discuss this subject matter, there are some that lack reason and logic. Luckily, people instantly call them out with perfectly good comebacks. And, to our delight, sometimes they use sarcasm and humor to do so. This time, check out a compilation of some of the best comebacks to pro-gun activists and share your own opinion on the matter in the comments.

Yeah when the government wants to constantly defund education and teachers barley make enough to survive, maybe we should do the cheaper thing and pass common sense gun control, fund mental health programs, and vote out these politicians that are either in the pocket of the NRA or are too lazy to do anything about the problem.

Well Laura if you speak to teens/people the way that you do don’t be surprised when they fire back. Teens are people. Age means nothing. You can be a kind, smart, considerate, and passionate person at any age. You can also be a small-minded, ignorant, self-important bigot at any age as well.

How the f**k does Sarah Sanders still have her job? Does The Donald know she's a woman, or does she like it when he grabs her by the pussy?

A terrorist attack just occurred in Bourke St, Melbourne Australia, centre of the city.He used a knife. One man killed, two injured. Passerbys attempted to slow him down with a shopping trolley,witches cones. He was shot by police. One death was one too many, but could you imagine the carnage he could have wrought if he had been armed with a ak-15?

I'm British, and I still don't understand the need to arm everyone with guns, and I can't turn on the news without the story of another stabbing victim in or around London. Yes, we have an armed division of our police force, but they're only used in extreme circumstances. In America, you get a bullet to the head for carrying around a water pistol, or a Nerf gun.

I just love pro- gun activists. They are like a broken record: "But muh 2nd amendment", ''but my right to defend myself', ''but what if we get invaded', 'but what if the government turns fascist'. /// Your favorite 2nd amendment is two centuries old and doesn't factor in such things as fully automatic, high caliber weapons that can kill from hundreds of meters. And in the history of USA how many times have you been invaded? Is Canada plotting to invade you, or are you afraid of the dolphins in the ocean? And if the government does turn fascist and you form a militia how exactly do you think that will work out for you against better equipped, better trained soldiers with access to IFVs, tanks, the navy and the air force? That is going to be one short civil war.

The "what if we get invaded" thing gets me too every time! This is a country with only two neighbouring countries (terribly frightening Canada and Mexico) and a whole lot of ocean to the east and west. Calm down, 'Muricans, you're perfectly safe!

The one I love is when they say, "If a person wants to kill someone bad enough he can use a spoon." OK, then why do you carry guns instead of spoons??? A spoon costs far less than a gun, it doesn't use ammo and it has no moving parts so it's infinitely more reliable. Plus you can carry as many concealed spoons as you want and nobody is ever going to hassle you about having a concealed spoon permit. So if you believe your own b******t then why are you spending so much money on guns and ammo instead of far less on spoons? Oh yeah... because you know you're full of s**t.
