Apart from that, it's just another mass shooting events with exactly the same reactions as always:

 

"If only we had more guns, this guy would have been stopped" vs "Everything from this to me breaking a toe is Trump's fault"

Mass shootings is old news in USA.They happen so often nobody really cares about it IMO :shrug: Everyone knows USA is a gun country and that's the collateral damage of it.

This is the attitude that got us into this mess. Mass Shootings shouldn’t be old or new news because they shouldn’t take place in the first place. We don’t have to be a gun country. Australia was once a gun country, and they’ve had little problems since they’re successful gun control measures. Guns are made for killing, that was why they were invented. The only ever gun I’ll be ok with someone owning is a single shot rifle/shotgun or a air pistol/shotgun. It shouldn’t be political. It should be, oh shut we have a problem let’s fix it so our children stop dying.

Mass shootings have been happening for decades in the US. It's not something that Trump has brought up, no matter how much some people want it to be that way. Nevertheless a more strict control should be considered and have buying a gun easier than buying a beer...

Yes, you are right about that. However, his defense of white nationalism and indifference to violence could be inspiring more shooters. He does say things all the time that extremists would be willing to carry out. The second is also true. I’d can buy a gun today, probably without an ID. It would take weeks to buy over the counter medicine (if you can afford it), alcohol (because I legally can’t until I’m 21), weed (same reason as above), but hey I can smoke (not that I would in a million years).
