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.

This also illustrates how people (and/or those they love) can be injured by their own guns because they're incompetent morons.
This is what happens with a corrupt government that takes money from the second amendment lobbyists...lives will always come second.
Okay now I wish I lived in an alternate universe where I could have a cute pet shark that protects me from other sharks :)
Witty comebacks don't change 200+ years of constitutional law. 2/3 of the house, 2/3 of the senate, and 3/4 of the states do. Have fun with that. Leave it to the hashtag activist generation to not understand this.
So you think that facts will stop an shooter better than a legally owned firearm operated by a teacher? Please explain your logic.
Load More Replies...Fancy comebacks such as this may seem to prove something, but they don't. A lot of times they give the illusion of it, but don't connect. In this case, it might sum it up, but the better response would be to think, "Of course, you're right. There are a lot of sharks in the water. That's why I'm getting my own shark that might just help me protect myself from other sharks." We all know guns are dangerous, that's the point. But if we use them to help ourselves and others to protect against other dangerous sharks or guns, then that helps us.

Cars are far more regulated than guns so let's go ahead and regulate guns like cars and require insurance to operate a gun. I like the way you think!'
Car insurance doesn't pay out if you use your vehicle in a negligent or illegal manner, if I drive into a crowd of people on purpose because the little green men in my head told me to, my insurance won't pay for that. It covers accidents not on purposes.

You can own a car without training. You are not supported to drive it without training but how many people follow that? Same with guns you do have to have training to get your CPL to use it but not always to buy one.

No. She's pretending that anyone who wants gun control should be required to know as much about all the types of guns as gun fetishists do, or have no say about gun regulation.

Especially if this whole "ban the gun" movement is supposed to combat the loss of lives..... Serious inquiry.
Australia managed it. After a serious mass shooting and pressed forward by police chiefs across the continent and by the then-newly elected prime minister they banned semi-automatic and other military-style weapons across the country. The federal government of Australia prohibited their import, and lawmakers introduced a generous nationwide gun buyback program, funded with a Medicare tax, to encourage Australians to freely give up their assault-style weapons. Many of them did. Australian independence didn’t end. Tyranny didn’t come. Australians still hunted. Their economy didn’t crash; Invaders never arrived. Violence, in many forms, went down across the country, not up. Somehow, lawmakers on either side of the gun debate managed to get along and legislate. It worked. A good example of how possible it is. It has to be a process but if you never start then the problem will only continue to get worse.

What an outrage! These doctors who attempt to save the lives of those whose bodies are torn apart, hemmoraging, paralysed, screaming in agony and shock, reattaching severed limbs and digits, instigating blood transfusions not by drip but full bore, instigating organ transplantation if possible, working on one person for hours and praying life will be preserved, while trying to reassure that person (if conscious of course), plus trying to be reassuring to family members, etc, etc, etc and then if all that and much more fails, then to be forced to pronounce death when every single intervention has failed? Are you referring to these doctors? This Registered Nurse has witnessed and even participated in such outrageous acts! Are you really suggesting that these physicians lack the education, training, and experience that perhaps require input from an organization like yours?

Load More Replies...As an online gamer I have spent time talking to plenty of completely normal and otherwise reasonable Americans. However they all are completely shocked when I tell them that in the UK most of our police don't even carry guns. It seems crazy to them. They find it hard to understand even when I explain that for the most part guns are not needed as very few of our criminals carry them. The lack of guns restricts the ability to escalate a situation when being controlled by passion and extreme emotion. However now that America is in a situation where everyone has a gun I see no way for them to impose stricter gun control or gun bans. Only the lawful would be willing to hand over guns, leaving the criminals armed and the reasonable law abiding citizens at their mercy. It's a sad situation. The saddest part being that a large portion of the population are blind to how crazy it seems to the rest of us.
Less than a third of Americans own guns, and 90% are in favor of common sense gun control.
Load More Replies...Why only teachers? Arm every student. Maintenance workers. Janitors. Start kindergarten out properly; each child needs not only a semiautomatic but 2 grenades. Teachers require 2 semiautomatics, 1 machine gun with bayonet attached, 4 grenades, 1 rocket launcher, at least 1 buck knife for "wet work," and of course 3 ammo belts. How moronic. I am thankful that I live in a country with intelligent laws for firearms and the result is that no child or teenager has to fear being massacred at school. Not one.
In moments of panic and fear, such as an active shooter situation, you cannot predict how anyone will react. Honestly?!! You think you'd be calm and focused, but having been in life and death situations as an RN, I can tell you even the best doctors panic.
These diversion tactics are weak. People with GUNS are the ones SHOOTING people. Focus, jackasses.
When the Parkland shooting occurred, gun purchases skyrocketed. I don't understand the logic of people in this country.
I had a woman who owns a gun store, a friend of a friend online, tell me a shooting in our town was a good thing because she sold out almost all her stock. People dying benefited her personally, so it was a good thing.
Load More Replies...The gun lobby know this. It's an ever increasing circle of fear generation and shootings. The only people winning are the gun manufacturers. America is isolating itself as it becomes more and more peculiar and out of touch with the rest of humanity.
Bombs are indiscriminate short-range weapons, that has to be in the immediate vincinity to be effective, which is why the death toll is typically lower compared to a directed weapon such as a gun. Still, neither kills on their own, as it still takes a human to trigger them.
It is insabe if you can buy a semiautomatic gun for selfprotection... sorry but I will not go to USA unless you change it. I wouldn't like to die as a victim of an idiot with semiautomatic gun.
It is extremely unlikely that you would be shot if you went to the US. Shootings are a problem that receives a lot of media attention, but you are much more likely to die in a car accident.

I'm still wondering about 160+ dead in Oklahoma with fertilizer and diesel. It AIN'T the device, it's the person.
Moeless, I agree completely. These people don't seem to understand that guns are not the issue, the people wielding inappropriately them are.
Load More Replies...Yet Oklahoma still happened and it wasn't just 3 people that died. Also, it's not that hard to build a bomb. Any idiot can look it up on the computer to get the recipe on how to put one together. Getting the materials to make and the plans to build a bomb is actually much easier than getting a registered hand gun. But many of these shooting are happening with guns not owned by the shooter. So how is stricter regulations going to help if the shooter is using an illegally obtained gun?
you know what? we Don't have that kind of problem in Canada becase we aren't F*****g moron and Walking in the street with gun in our holster for feeling like mens!
As a teacher, you, Mr. President, are an idiot. I did not go into this profession to be in live combat situations or be a “highly talented” with weapons. I wanted to teach children not be a bodyguard. This argument is the dumbest “solution” to our problem.
And furthermore, I have to work two jobs as it is to make ends meat because teacher salaries are ridiculously low. It is shameful what you think our country’s teachers are worth and now you say it is OUR responsibility to keep shooters out of our schools. With all due respect, f@&k you.

Committing violence against anyone should qualify the attacker for a gun ban.
A law with a HUGE loophole. It prevents you from buying a gun but lets you keep any you currently own.
Also, if you are not married, cohabiting, or coparenting it doesn't count as domestic violence and you can still have guns.
Load More Replies...Animal abuse is illegal as well, but rarely prosecuted (and almost all who are prosecuted were not violent toward animals, but more extremely neglectful, i.e. people who kept animals in squalid conditions or underfed). Given the lack of prosecution, restrictions on owning firearms for an animal abuser is frequently seen as virtually unenforceable.
Load More Replies...and ensure the DOJ puts policy out to not actively enforce it but spend time hunting down asylum seekers for detention in for profit prisons.
Typically not. Or extremely lax enforcement - given that there is no registry, an abusive person can claim to have given any firearms away to friends and family. Federal regulation of guns sales often doesn't check in with local police, so a person on this restricted list may even be able to purchase a new firearm. Or if they buy from an individual rather than a store, there is no check whatsoever. If they get caught, there is a penalty - but often the only way they get caught is after they have shot at someone.
Load More Replies...Yes, because convicting someone of domestic violence works, right? Do you know that to get a restraining order (temporary, 2 weeks) the victim has to pay $98, be at the courthouse fill out forms, stand in line to get form stamped, stand in another line to pay, back to the first line again to get a copy of the paperwork and prove you paid, by 9:30 am, then wait until 10:30 to go into a courtroom where everyone else filing is sitting, along with anyone else who wants to be there, (including the person they are afraid of) prove they are afraid (re:at least one police report, no witnesses allowed), then pay $35 plus mileage for the order to be served? To press charges, you have to have a witness to the abuse (someone in the next room listening or seeing immediate after effects, red handprints on your neck, etc., do not count) and/or actual bruises (even these may be questioned) to even start the process.
Yeah when the government wants to constantly defund education and teachers barley make enough to survive, maybe we should do the cheaper thing and pass common sense gun control, fund mental health programs, and vote out these politicians that are either in the pocket of the NRA or are too lazy to do anything about the problem.
Even though I knew how to operate guns since I was little and enjoyed it for target practice and hunting, the NRA sounds like a massive, corrupt heap of bull$hit that has a greater mass than total mass of all guns owned by Americans.

It's called that we don't take care of our own people..that's why we have a high suicide rate. Lack of mental health availability, high suicide rate. Lack of mental health availability, rise in mass shootings. It all comes down to limited access to mental and health services that would allow people to get the help they need. You don't see c**p like this going down in socialist countries, do you?
Then why did it work in Australia? Same problem as the US and now it is solved. You think somehow you are different to other countries that it won't work? Australia had the same worries and they still hunt, haven't been invaded and are much, much safer. Other countries consider their civil rights to be extremely important too. We have rights in the UK, eg to education, health care, freedom of speech etc. I can't think of a freedom that the US has that the UK doesn't. Bar the gun thing, yet we can have guns should we want. The desire isn't there. Our laws are just differently constructed and we receive far more support from our Government as individuals. A country does not have genuine freedom when there are people living in fear.

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!

Don't feel bad honey, I live in Alaska and alot of Americans swear it's an Island like Hawaii. We even have to pay "international" shipping and are warned we need "American" currency to shop at some places online.

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.
Just so we keep sporks out of the hands of psychopaths we should be okay...

So hell bent on keeping all these guns, even after all the toddlers, preschoolers, teenagers are being murdered in cold blood. it is so horrifically sad that they want to keep their guns after all the heart breaking terrorizing happening in their schools.
I knew we were doomed when a classroom full of elementary school children were brutally murdered and nobody cared to do anything about it. It's truly sickening. Some people in this country truly believe their rights to a gun are more important than a child's right to live.

As an American, I can tell you it's like living with a crazy roommate. The worst part is when you have a gun in your home, it is statistically more likely to be fired at someone in your household than an intruder. Sure, invite in a tiger to guard your home, but don't be surprised when it bites your kid.

Wow. I love pro-gun nutters who think "lefties" don't know guns. I'm pro-gun-control (strict!) because I use guns, seen what they do, etc. KNOWING GUNS and the damage they do is why I'm pro-gun-control. Won't stop murder, but it might lower the body count! (But htat's irrelevant, right) As for DUmbest Argument EVER: "We need the guns to protect ourselves against the government." Uh, ... the US Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force are reallllly gonna be impressed by your Wal-Mart-sourced arsenal. Really. *eyeroll*
Pro gun activist might be surprised at this stats, in Australia gun related violence almost disappeared after Howard & Fischer implement a ban on automatic & semiautomatic weapons. Wowser! What a f*king logic right?!
A sane, intelligent American would be very welcome in most countries.
