S22 - so take cars off the road. Drunks kill more people. Problem solved, right?
These things weren't happening at this rate before the country went full left. Re-open mental institutions, stop mainstreaming kids who shoiuldn't be, let parents and teachers discipline kids, end psychotropic drugs. Lots of solutions, just not the one you have your heart set on. In many of these cases, it isn't a random act that nobody could have seen. Many of these shooters are well known. Our systems have been so degraded because we don't want to stigmatize anyone. Well, OK, but this is the result.
Gun use to save lives / self defense dwarfs the number of lives lost:
Estimates of frequency
Estimates over the number of defensive gun uses vary wildly, depending on the study's definition of a defensive gun use, survey design, population, criteria, time-period studied, and other factors. Low-end estimates are in the range of 55,000 to 80,000 incidents per year, while high end estimates reach of 4.7 million per year. Discussion over the number and nature of DGU and the implications to gun control policy came to a head in the late 1990s.[2][3][4] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_gun_use]

Most anti gun folks simply don’t like guns or the second amendment. Just like the congressional clown on the stage with Rubio not to long ago who basically said he wanted to get rid of all semiautomatics. You anti gun guys should start a campaign against coke and Pepsi, they kill more people than assault rifles do, not even close.
