Christian, easy.
1. He says the guy was able to buy a gun legally which isn't true. When dishonorably discharged you can't buy a gun. He lied on his application and slipped through the cracks. The law exists, and I agree it needs to be enforced better, but in the end background checks exist.
2. The fact that are deadliest mass shootings have happened recently is because of our poor economy and the fact our population is larger. More people more deaths.
3. The law Trump changed was that people will only be denied guns after due process. Same as "no fly no buy" is not done with due process. You can't take away rights without due process. Also, that law had nothing to do with this shooting. Even at that many people can't manage their finances but are not violent.
4. The 93% wanting background checks is deceptive. If you ask me I will say "yes, but those laws already exist". Also, when put to a vote in NV and Maine background checks failed to pass in Maine and passed in NV by only 0.45%.
5. Him asking the AR-15 is legal is foolish as there are much deadlier guns.
6. High capacity magazine ban is pointless as they can still reload quickly (look up the VA Tech shooting)
7. The 10,000 murders is deceptive. Many are justified by cops or citizens defending themselves. And around 1/4 of them are isolated in four cities, Baltimore, DC, Detroit and Chicago.
That is most of it. I can find a few more but that is good enough.

"Conservative: "Guns aren't the problem! People with mental illnesses are the problem!""
It is one of the problems.
"Everyone else : "Ah, so you would support increased healthcare funding to ensure that they get the help that they need?"
C: "NO! Free healthcare is bad! If they want healthcare, they should pay for it themselves!""
We lack resources to provide healthcare to all. The argument is that under a free market system there will be more resources for the following reasons
1. Resources will be used more efficiently as if they aren't a company goes broke
2. Society will have the mindset that they need to work to do well as opposed to live off of the government, thus they will pursue jobs with higher skills such as being doctors and nurses to provide mental healthcare.
"E: "Ah, so you would support a raise in the minimum wage to ensure that they are able to afford it?"
C: "NO! If people want to get paid more money, then they should go to school and learn a trade to get a better job!""
Raising the min. wage increases amount paid per hour, not per week. Also, it has been shown to kill jobs for those who are at a disadvantage such as the poor.
"E: "Ah, so you would support an increase in education funding to help
students pay for tuition?"
C: "NO! If people can't afford an education, then they should do
something else to help them get their education, like join the
military!""
As with healthcare we lack resources to provide education to more people. Increasing demand without increasing supply either raises prices or lowers quality.
It seems like you need to have more conversations with conservatives who are intelligent.
