    Maybe he should just give you "google.com" for you to look it up? I mean, that's your modus operandi when debating, right?

    Yes, I do research. You see, the internet is, among other things, the greatest card catalog the world has ever seen. You should check it out sometime.

    Anyway, let's be thankful this guy didn't have a KNIFE! Think how much worse it could have been!

    A ridiculous retort. When you debate, and put forth a point (that is not considered "public knowledge", eg. "when it rains, water comes from the sky"), it is YOUR job to support that point with acceptable evidence.

    You seem to think we should all take you at your word and then go verify what you are saying if...when we don't believe you. That isn't how a debate works. So you're either a lousy debater, or lazy. Or both. I'm thinking both.

    I might if someone challenges the assertion (why support the obvious?). But they have a job to provide evidence as well.

    Please don't bullshit. I asked you to provide a link where Pravda cited the Tea Party as being a terrorist organization. You said "google". Instead, gwb had to step up and support your claim (which turned out to be correct). There was nothing "obvious" about that assertion.

    Whenever I make a statement that isn't a generally known or believed statistic or reference, I link to it. If questioned on something, I certainly link if I forgot to do so originally.

    Fair enough.

    By the way, what search engine do you prefer?

    At the risk of answering a loaded question, I prefer Duck Duck Go, as it's an anonymous search engine. Well, it claims it is.

    The vast majority of mass shootings I can think of occurred in "gun free zones".
    Certainly all of the school shootings, plus the Aurora shooting.

    How often do you hear of a mass murder in a gun store?
