#1 The Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy is the belief that a tumor between the killer’s thalamus, hypothalamus, and amygdala was the cause of the massacre. But even after the autopsy, the Connally Commission could not conclusively determine that the tumor was the reason for the killings.

#2 We are, as a nation, among the most violence-prone people on earth. We are also a technologically proficient people who are better equipped to kill and maim than most other nations.

#3 However, when an active shooter does get his hands on a semiautomatic rifle, the results are catastrophic. According to a 2018 report compiled by Brigham and Women’s Hospital and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, active shooters armed with any kind of semiautomatic rifle are likely to kill or wound nearly twice as many people as killers armed with firearms that fire off fewer rounds before needing to be reloaded.

#4 America is not the only country with a high rate of gun ownership, and we are not the only nation with a history of using guns to protect ourselves.
