    Oh no I completely agree with you guys. However, the easier access to guns increases the body count significantly when such attacks happen. I do understand your point that it shouldn’t distract from some other issues as you mention. However, for me living in DE in Europe, US gun laws are completely insane. As I would imagine Germany having no speed limit on the Motorway is for the rest of the world 🤷‍♂️

      Speaking of Germany, you recently had a mass attack on a train. Difference was this was a knife attack and six people were stabbed, no fatalities. Attacks are just so much harder when you can’t easily acquire a highly lethal weapon, but here in the US there is a huge group that sees the possession massive arsenal as a vital right that must be prioritized when voting. Individual states can’t even really provide effective increases in prohibitions because a shooter can just driver over state lines like this guy did.
