I’m 100% an advocate of increased controls on fire arms and mental health assistance for people prone to acts of violence, but your comment is a cold take disguised as a hot one. Of course, in a country of 332 million people on a holiday where adults tend to indulge in alcohol you can expect someone to do something stupid and someone end up dead. Guns could not exist and someone would have died needlessly last night.
Your sentiment is fair, but unfortunately comments like this one are used by the opposition to rile up their patrons by saying we’re over reactionary and “we didn’t make as big a deal when 20 or 30 people were shot in Chicago last week,” or whatever statistic they want to pull.
