There have been at least 50 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of September 19. Thirteen were on college campuses, and 37 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left 24 people dead and at least 66 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

So would you support banning schools?

It might save a child's life.

What an ignorant take on the subject. I love when people prove they’re not paying attention. It saves me a LOT of time.

I thought literally any measure that might save kids lives was justified.

Or is that only the case with guns?

I don’t argue against straw men. Find someone else to annoy.

So… you knew I wouldn’t want to argue against your flimsy straw man, but you took the time to build it regardless?

Hmmm… I wonder if there’s a name for people that do that.
