Another mass murder. The shooter ( Note: who of course there is tons of info about now) was apparently a shy man who even practiced Buddhism and meditated at times. Gun control advocates attempt to connect this story with the sandy-hook mass shooting along with most gun-violence victims. They attempt to categorize all these incidents together and make the common enemy the lack of gun regulation. Gun Control is harsh in Chicago, gun shops are even illegal, but there is gun violence the plenty. Not all gun violence deaths are the same. The reason gun violence happens, is not because it's guns, but various factors such as poverty, mental health and failing education. So combat those issues, don't combat guns.
This is part of the argument: "Last month the nation breathed a sigh of relief after Antoinette Tuff, a bookkeeper in an elementary school in suburban Atlanta, prevented a man with an AK-47-type weapon and nearly 500 rounds of ammunition from hurting anyone."
(^^Why do you need 500 rounds and an AK? What, are you preparing for the zombie apocalypse? Or maybe the so much more viable governmental takeover that's just bound to happen.)
The strategy of combating the relevance of the second amendment and "playing on the nation's emotions" hasn't worked. So combat the issues that make gun violence happen, not the actual guns.
Because guns don't kill people, people kill people.
