Targeting the Teacher

They missed the part where he has a history of mental health issues and had heard voices telling him to kill people. He should have lost access to his guns.

I mean, a law doesn't have to stop every criminal to be useful, if gun control causes any significant reduction in shooting deaths, it will have saved lives, even if some shootings still occur.

Well, might as well allow everyone to drive cars unrestrictedly since some crazy fucks every once in a while decide to DUI or drive without a license. Nothing can go wrong, right?

If gun control won’t do anything then we need gun bans. No more controlling them, take them all away.

Gun control arguments almost always include things like mental health care and annual health reviews to prevent things like this

Edit: had a bit of a stroke in the middle of that sentence

Why is weapons grade plutonium restricted when the president can still go crazy?

What I’m getting from this post is that the only way for gun control to work is a complete gun ban. I don’t think that’s what the user was wanting

Ridiculously dumb take

This guy was previously admitted by a mental hospital and was up for mental evaluation. Proper gun control would mean he wouldn't have been able to buy that rifle.

It's no gun control (read=the absence of gun control), it's mental health, it's poverty. It's not taking care of your citizens.

What was he doing with a usable bolt in that weapon? We typically had to sign them out for the one day a week we needed them on-base. And there's No Way a reservist would have something like that.

Exactly why we need to address the issues that are driving people to the edge instead of just banning stuff like that'll work.

Doesn’t really matter when uncertified people are killing others with guns every week.

So unless something is 100% guaranteed, we shouldn't try at all.
