We as the gun community need to come up with a better idea to address these shootings and figure out how to prevent them.
This was an awful tragedy but let's put things into perspective. The 2nd amendment is always the scapegoat when it comes to rights and saving lives.
To save lives we could...
Restrict of freedom of speech so the news can't sensationalize issues and ban speech the majority don't agree with.
Ban religion.
Remove due process so it's easier to put people in prison or institutionalize them.
Practice cruel and unusual punishment as a deterrent and ensure criminals can't harm anyone again.
And so on. Any of those would be comparable to banning assault rifles to save lives.
There are other things society can work on...
Teach personal responsibility and morals
end the entitlement mindset.
Promote self defense and end reliance on the police
Promote success and achievement
Bring back community involvement instead of relying on government.
Compassion and helping others.
And so on....
