What would have been a normal fist fight is now a mass shooting, which while could be solved by giving up guns is now to be solved by an army of shrinks materializing out of thin air paid by taxes that no one wants to pay to solve poverty and bullying and mental illness… and domestic disputes.

And I’m sure a grand total of 0 responsible gun owners reading this while in a domestic dispute are going to responsibly seek couples therapy due to this event.

Love to meet the psychologist who can solve poverty.

You do know that most poor people aren't poor because of things they control right?

We're dripping with guns. You can't take a piss without tripping over a fucking gun.

Guns are real easy to use and really good at killing people.

And of course the lesson we'll take is "We should do more about mental health [while refusing to fund it]" and "That just shows we don't have enough guns" and "He had a gun, therefore gun control doesn't work [despite having no real gun control here]".

I'd said it's learned helplessness, but honestly it's more like some weird death cult dedicated to enriching firearms manufacturers.

Yeah obviously this is a sad reminder that gun control really does not work. California has some of the worst gun laws in the country, shootings are still happening there further reinforcing the fact that there is no correlations between gun deaths and overall violence.

False statements based on lies you have incorporated into your thinking, I'm afraid. You see, gun regulations are being subverted and removed, so gun violence has increased. When we add more restrictions, the violence will go back down, as we've seen in the past. You are arguing AFTER the laws changed to help criminals.

For instance, bump stocks were recently restored to being legal, making mass shootings easier. But you'll sit there and say it isn't the weapon, when clearly the murderer chose it for its capabilities.

There were no bump stocks used here so it is irrelevant. I am not saying its not a weapon, just that is is perfectly legal. If people can easily subvert gun regulations(like californias AWB cosmetic regulations), it means they are not effective and mostly punitive.
