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.

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.

It's funny how the the first statement is made to look like the person has no idea what they are talking about, when there is logic behind it. If you're going to try and make the argument don't make the other party look like an idiot and use a comparison that is somewhat the same thing, otherwise you look like the idiot.

    Every time a wing nut tells me about cars or swimming pools I say this: 'Well, since you brought it up and believe guns and cars are comparable then let's go with that. 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.

    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.

Are you referring to these doctors? This Registered Nurse has witnessed and even participated in such outrageous acts!

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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?

There is nothing wrong with a legally owned firearm used in self defense. If someone is attacking you with a gun, what do you think has more chance of stopping them, a gun or words?

    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.

    7 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    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.

    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.

    perhaps being respectful to your future voter pool would be a good idea?

    So someone not knowing whether you're a junior or a sophomore is clear evidence they have no grounds to speak on the subject at hand. But not knowing what AR stands for is meaningless triviality. Either knowing pedantic details is important or not. Make up your mind and stick with it.

    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?

    I think that Trump likes having a token woman on his staff. Good publicity.

    Oh, good point, I guess since the president has advocated that criminals who use firearms should face no consequences, this is completely outrageous. Oh wait, he didn't do that. Looks like he has been consistent about holding individuals accountable for their actions. It could be that he and tens of millions of other Americans are outraged by these criminal acts, but choose to blame the criminal who commits the act, rather than inanimate objects. In Leftie world, disagreeing with your policy positions amounts to not caring about people. Got it, sounds legit.

    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?

    Sadly, any talk about banning guns or even just having better regulations and such just seems to make people buy even more guns.

    I agree we CAN stop this. Gun control is important but how about we get our s**t together and fix healthcare so that these "madmen" can get assistance and treatment before they turn to the gun or the knife or the bomb or the truck/car. . .

    Really? How? By making all guns illegal? Sure then nobody will be able to get one, just like making heroin and cocaine illegal makes it impossible to get. Right?

    Hi! You’re a moron. It is damn near impossible to get a gun in Poland, a country with a very high crime rate, and we haven’t had a mass shooting in almost 20 years. Americans like you care more about money and the outdated 2nd amendment than the lives of innocent children. F**k you.

    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.

    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?

    No it's not the gun laws or the gun numbers in American hands. If that were the case, all of these active shooting situations would have been happening for YEARS in the US. But it has only been the last 30 or so years that gun violence in THIS way has risen exponentially. So what is the possible culprit? I put my money on media portrayal and the greater connectivity of the internet. People see these other damaged people getting famous and making statements and they think they can achieve the same thing. We saw the same thing happen in the 60s and 70s when we sensationalized serial killers spawning MORE serial killers. Gun laws and gun violence need to be STUDIED and some tighter gun laws are probably going to help but they won't solve the problem. It's a bandaid.

    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.

    The NRA is actually the oldest civil rights organization in the US. Founded in 1871 it did not take up the issue of gun rights until 1934 when state laws began infringing on constitutional rights.

    He's a Parkland shooting survivor. The right keeps saying how all of the survivors are "crisis actors". He most definitely was an actor....he played lago, Mr. Potato Head and King Triton in camp musicals as a kid lol

    Just to clear this up for all of you, just because one right-wing conspiracy theorist believes in "crisis actors" does not mean that all or most of us righties do. Also, you lefties have plenty of conspiracy theorists of your own.
