Somebody lost someone and they correctly identified the person most guilty. That is what these people and their undeserved money fear. They fear when the riots start the people don't trash their neighborhood for once but seek out those to blame and trash them. That is when you will see gun control become a priority.
Sounds like a really roundabout way to get gun control but sure I'll take it.
Maybe you should re evaluate that. Like in 'are we the baddies?' style.
//Edit-
I am certainly not saying the CEO was anything other than a bad guy. I'm talking about being anti-gun.
IE, 'if when a guy with a gun kills someone we all agree is bad, and your takeaway from that is 'yay now we can can the gun', maybe you aren't the anti-violence person you like to think you are.
Won't someone think of the rich?
Yeah, it’s bad to kill someone with a gun but it’s okay to kill thousands with an AI-enabled claims denier.
Not even slightly okay. I am shedding no tears for this asshole. My comment was directed at the user who is happy that this might lead to more gun control.
I've re evaluated. The CEO was still definitely the baddie.
Of course he was. Where did I say otherwise?
Yeah no. Gun ownership in the USA is fucking crazy. How the fuck can a country have regular school shootings and not ban guns or at least regulate them slightly.
Because those kids are not rich.
And the fact that people seem to think that they absolutely need to own deadly weapons .
without receipts or red tape. Most countries have a licensing program for firearms.
It would be trivial to mandate each state license gun owners in order to purchase firearms but we don't even do that.
I would encourage you to educate yourself. If you honestly think there is not even slight regulation of gun ownership, then you are not informed on this issue.
I obviously exaggerated.
But compared to civilized nations it's not too far off.
If someone dies and everyone celebrates, maybe they are the baddie.
Not saying otherwise. I'm saying if your takeaway is that it's good to put more gun control, maybe you should reevaluate your position on gun control.
People arguing for gun control don't deny the usefulness of guns. Cars are useful too, it's a lot harder to get a car than a gun.
