    Tell me again how gun control laws would have stopped this?

    How about I detail all the ways he could have gotten a gun under your laws that you enable that are in effect right now?

    • He bought the guns before he had mental health issues and red flag laws weren’t used because police are far-right and pro-gun and put cultish, bullshit ideology before people’s lives.

    • He just lied or had someone else lie and the gun laws you’re rushing to the defense of completely failed to catch it because they’re hopelessly inadequate and designed to put lobby profits before people’s lives.

    At this point, we’ve covered 80% of mass shooters so we’re looking good statistically.

    • He took the legally purchased, poorly secured firearm of a “responsible gun owner” of a family member or friend because the pro-gun community staunchly insists that the “responsible” part of “responsible gun owner” is 100% optional and punishable only by the tutting of strangers on the internet.

    Now we’ve covered over 90% of mass shooters, but most of these ones are children.

    • He bought the gun in a private sale that didn’t require a background check because for some surreal reason, the pro-gun crowd is completely okay with that and fights the closing of the loophole.

    • He bought a previously legally purchased, poorly secured, promptly stolen gun from a stranger, because illegal firearms don’t grow on trees, they’re endlessly (and profitably!) by millions of people like yourself.

    Which covers 99% of mass shooters. Of course deep down, you already knew all of that didn’t you?

    You’re just not allowed to admit it out loud, because the moment you admit that in fact yes, gun control could have stopped many of these clearly telegraphed attacks, you’d have to also admit that you pushed for the laws that killed those people.

    So how about instead of me explaining “how gun control laws would have stopped this” over and over again, you go fuck yourself?

    You’ve overthrown zero tyrants. You’ve done nothing to lower the crime rate. You’ve let “suicide with dad’s protect-my-family gun” become the number one cause of death for teenagers. You’ve insisted for 25 years that you have the answers and you’ve failed every single time.

        Oh did you solve racism with your cool guns? Did you stop state violence?

        Nope, of course you didn’t. You’re full of shit like always and minorities are safer in countries with gun control.

        Just another day of the pro-gun crowd delivering on zero of their promises.
