We talk about tighter gun laws because we care about the deaths, and because we don't want more of them to happen. If we don't talk about the problematically loose restrictions after tragedies like this, they fall into the wayside and never get discussed at all.
Besides, if we wait to discuss stuff like this until there's been a period of calm, then we'll literally NEVER discuss it. It's February 14th and there's ALREADY been 18 school shootings this year
Okay but at least show the condolences then go into the debate, I expected the jousting over gun control more than people just saying they feel bad for what happened. It just comes off people want to jump into the fight without showing a bit of compassion. Or rather, jump into the fight and just be very inconsiderate about it.
And someone kind of summed up what happened, a rinse and repeat, the debate will go on, nothing will be done about it, similar to the Las Vegas massacre months ago. Coming off that, my opinion on gun control really doesn't matter in the end, I'd rather focus on grieving over those who were personally affected by the tragedy.
