There is nothing anecdotal about mass shootings, and things aren't anecdotal "in comparison" to other things. Good god. Do you not even know what the term 'anecdote' or 'anecdotal' refers to?
Each day in the US, it is more likely that a mass shooting will occur than it is a mass shooting will not occur. These petty theft stops, on the other hand, are in fact anecdotal, and they are in no way a mitigating factor to the pressing need for common sense gun policy. And I have to say that I'm not the least bit surprised that this need be explained to an adult who 1) still subscribes to high school libertarianism, 2) doesn't understand the concept of burden of proof, 3) can't even clarify his own speech or subjective political beliefs, and 4) doesn't know what 'anecdotal' means, but still uses the term anyways.

Shooting in Oregon: So far in 2015, we’ve had 274 days and 294 mass shootings
Oh, and I thought we already went over your use of the term 'useful idiots' in the thread below, didn't we? You know, the thread where I presented clear, air-tight evidence suggesting that you are in fact a 'useful idiot'? And the thread where you couldn't show me anything - anything - that would suggest that I am a useful idiot?
And yet here we have election-boy, still throwing the term around. As I said in the thread below that you eventually ran way from, there is no cure for stupid.
