Besides, wasn't he crowing about how Democrats were buying guns in record numbers this year? Stands to reason that an increase in guns in the hands of reasonable people instead of RWNJ "vive la revolution" types wouldn't lead to a rise in gun crime.This fails as an ad hoc fallacy.600 million guns in private hands, over 19.4 million people carrying guns in public for self defense......
2019, 10 mass public shootings.
2020, 21 million more guns in private hands...... 2 mass public shootings.
And before you anti-gun extremists say....But....But....Chinese Flu....Chinese Flu.........
Walmarts were full, Target stores were full.......plenty of places for mass public shootings if the people who would do them wanted to do them...
Mass public shootings are not driven by access to guns......as 2020 just demonstrated...
Americans use their legal guns 1.1 million times a year to stop rapes, robberies and murders........

Mother Jones...the list of mass public shootings....they haven't added the shooting here in Illinois at the bowling alley....I included it in my total...

The number of guns bought/owned has nothing to do with the number of gun crimes committed.
This is particularly idiotic, wrongheaded rightwing sophistry.
