1/ NEW MASS SHOOTING - A TIME SAVING EXCHANGE

2/ A new mass shooting just occurred! Let's Begin:

3/ L: We need to do something! Let's enact common sense gun control! But for reals this time!

4/ R: No, if they didn't have guns, criminals/crazies would find another way to kill people!

5/ L: Yes, but it wouldn't be so MANY people so QUICKLY or so frequently

6/ R: So you want to disarm law abiding people so they'll be defenseless?

7/ L: No, "arms" are fine - "arms" that fire 45 rounds per minute, not

8/ R: But if the bad guys have AR-15s, shouldn't the good guys have AR-15s?

9/ L: No, we're saying NO ONE should have guns that are that effective at killing.

10/ R: But the issue isn't the guns, it's the mentally ill and criminals/terrorists!

11/ L: OK, but there's not even national dbase that can track mentally ill or terrorists across state lines

12/ R: Well, now you want Big Brother to know how many guns people have

13/ L: Well, yeah, like a car: you need a permit, you need to go to training, you need insurance

14/ R: That's infringing on my right to bear arms: FREEDOM!

15/ L: Nope, could care less if you owned all of the guns you want, as long as you keep track of them and transfer title

16/ R: Then the government would know where my guns are and could come take them whenever they wanted!

17/ L: Literally no one wants your guns - if the government came to TAKE your guns, we'd all rise up as you have a right to have them.

18/ R: But IF the government came to take my guns, they'd know how many I had, and then it'd be easier to take them!

19/ L: Uh, so you're going to take on "the government" double wielding AR-15s until they… stop sending police for you to kill…?

20/ R: Well, if they take me, they'll go down with me!

21/ L: It's good to have goals…I guess.

22/ R: And I've got the right to privacy!

23/ L: Sure you do, and we have the right to not need to be strapped to go to church.

24/ R: But the way to beat a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun!

25/ L: Stastically, that's almost never been a factor - the number of murders for every "good guy with a gun" aren't remotely in line

26/ R: But all it takes is ONE to stop it!

27/ L: Right, meanwhile a bunch of armed "help" are running around an active shooter scenes confusing police as they try to stop it!

28/ R: That's their problem: they need to be able to determine a threat from an armed citizen

29/ L: So THEY have to be in harms way because people think they're in a Die Hard movie or a video game?

30/ R: #BlueLivesMatter…uh, except in this instance!

31/ Here, they need to do a better job at telling good guys with guns apart from bad guys with guns!

32/ L: Yet police in other countries with lower death rates by guns (Australia, Switzerland, any other 1st world country here) don't have…

33/ …to deal with this

34/ R: Apples & Oranges: we're the United States and "freedom" is a well-armed militia!

35/ L: A "well-armed militia" is still achievable/musterable if gun ownership also means accountability

36/ R: No you wouldn't - you'd take them and let the leftists kill me and my family!

37/ L: I…what?

38/ R: Yeah! I saw the NRA video with Dana Loesch! That's what you want!

39/ L: Uh…no, actually, we don't want that. We just want to not have to worry about firearms at Chuck E Cheese.

40/ R: Leftist!

41/ L: I don't see why we can't…

42/ R: Infringe!

43/ L: …just have a simple registry…

44/ R: Infringe!

45/ L: …that stays private but tracks guns like VIN numb--

46/ R: Infringe!

47/ L: But if we were to just have title transf--

48/ R: Infringe!

49/ L: Or some insurance--

50/ R: Infringe!

51/ L: And if you're on a terror watchli--

52/ R: Infringe!

53/ #Spongebob Narrator Voice: "3-9 Monthz Latur"

54/ A new mass shooting just occurred! Let's Begin:

55/ L: We need to do something! Let's enact common sense gun control! But for reals this time!

56/ R: No, if they didn't have guns, criminals/crazies would find another way to kill people

57/ And the beat goes on…
