Feel like I got shot twice reading this.

One false argument I've dealt with is that many high-profile US shootings actually involved illegal acquisition of guns. This is actual bs. In case you come across a similar claim, here's a list of high-profile shootings involving legally acquired guns:

Parkland shooting 2018

Las Vegas shooting 2017

Orlando Nightclub shooting 2016

Sandy Hook elementary school shooting 2012

Virginia Tech shooting 2007

The list goes on and on. But these shootings were known throughout the world so these are some of the best examples in my opinion. Also see here for the statistic that [74 Percent Of Mass Shooters since '82 Obtained Their Guns Legally](https://gunsandamerica.org/story/18/11/02/since-1982-74-percent-of-mass-shooters-obtained-their-guns-legally/)

Please let me know if any of this is incorrect.
