You reckon the scores of gunshot killings yesterday were all done by folks who borrowed the guns?

Or is the point supposed to be that most of the gun owners didn't kill someone yesterday, only some did?

I reckon they're saying that the vast majority of gun owners do not kill people.

It's funny, because I doubt many people today have the guts to smell their victims last breath as they look them in the eye while they slide off the blade in agonizing death.

...that and legal blade length is 3in. or less in many states....doesn't make for a particularly intimidating or effective sword....

And I don't know about you, but given the option, I'd much prefer that the guy threaten me have a sword as opposed to a semi-automatic.

True, but I'd rather have a handgun to the back of the guy's head. I call it creative problem solving.

He did not lie, you failed to lucidly comprehend what he wrote.

Your accusational apparatus seems fine but I think you need an overhaul on your literacy module.
