In the 2014 Isla Vista killings Elliot Rodger killed six people and injured fourteen others—by gunshot, stabbing and vehicle ramming [1]

He hurt as many with handguns as he did with a BMW

He killed as many with knives as he did handguns

The desire to kill supersedes the weapon used

it's the consequence of the second amendment, that you may like it or not

Again, no. Car, knife, gun, bomb, barehands... all require a motive

As long as it stays, why not enforcing the security of our children?

I agree. Guns help enforce the safety of children

The desire to kill needs to be addressed, not the method. Incels on psyho-active drugs are what needs solved

Do you even own a gun, much less ever shot one?

I’m not surprised that he’s selected a scenario that has shifted away from school shootings.

I had to look up this graph (here’s 2000 one). It’s bugging me that I don’t understand what it shows - how the data are collected and what it’s counting as a “violent crime”.

I still don’t get why violent crime would drop to 25% of the original value over a decade.

What are you interpreting from this graph about lead poisoning?
