Following this weekend’s deadly shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, Sarah Silverman tried to make the case for stricter gun control with a fact-based appeal to reason.
Except no she didn’t:
A guy tries to light his shoe on fire & 18 yrs later we still all take our shoes off through security. In that time there have been 37 MASS SHOOTINGS. And nothing. Not a single regulation.

Clearly she’s very interested in a dialogue.
Because I have to believe we agree on this. We are being separated by lies spread by NRA reps & lobbyists who have turned off a majority of their own members because hey- that’s not where their big $ comes from….

Show your work, Sarah. And then show us that you know what the hell you’re talking about.
Wow that’s…misinformed

What law would have stopped yesterday? Terrible thing. But bad people do horrible things. Everything he did, including the gun, was against the law.

Not a single regulation? You can't be serious.

Not a single regulation? You mean other than the dozens of laws that have been passed?

Plenty of laws on the books
