America’s debate on guns has gone on well before mass shootings, and that the exact same points are brought up. Back then the big scary weapon was the revolver.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but fully automatic weapons (1 trigger press=many bullets until the trigger is released) are not used in mass shootings.
Semi automatic weapons (1 trigger press=1 bullet) are and a majority of guns used in crime and defense belong in this category. I know some people get annoyed because it’s seen as nitpicking but even if you are anti gun you need to understand guns enough to make a coherent argument. I recommend having someone you trust take you to a range if you can.
But yeah imagine a group of government officials wanted to regulate cell phones but constantly said tablets like the words are interchangable. Then they start using vague terms like “smart screens” all the time like it means one very particular thing. You see what I mean.

Hmmm I wonder why there weren’t any mass shootings TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO. What a ridiculous argument

Kinda hard to have a mass shooting with a flintlock.

This was made in 1881 a few months after the assassination of James Garfield
Mass shootings weren’t commonplace, but the talking points sure were

My point is none of this is truly new.

Fully automatic weapons didn’t exist back then.

Since 1884, nice try.
Good luck carrying a Maxim Gun into a school to massacre children.
Yeah way too heavy. Wheel it around on a tripod or mount it to a wagon instead
Patented in 83. Thanks, Maxim! (The dude, not the magazine)
