It's a control issue, but it's not gun control. In all of these issues, including the guys going attacking people with buses or cars, it's issues with self-control. Indeed, the 2nd Amendment was meant for people with self-control (I don't think they had trigger-happy psychopaths in mind when they wrote the 2nd Amendment, whatever the Left might say.) Actually, both the state militia and the individual right to bear arms was actually a check on a government that might itself have issues with self-control.
The point against gun control is that it punishes those who do have self-control and, while it may limit some without self-control, it won't stop others without self-control.
Also, taken to the extreme, gun control could empower someone without self-control like Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao, Kim Jung Un, etc to harm millions.
I believe our commercial and consumer heavy society has inadvertently caused too many people to limit their perspectives to only them selves. add on the tv going on about " ...during this event its all about you! .. " " get what you deserve!.. "
after enough exposure to this type of business, what else are people thinking about except the situation they are in and how they got there.
it isn't people's first instinct to blame themselves either.
the problem with guns is how we advertise them- the BIG fix all-- for the little man- there are women who also kill with guns but that is limited -- why?

It seems to be democrat liberal communist gun owners, that have committed all the mass shootings and create the democrat socialist killing fields, we call progressive cities.
I say we prohibit Democrat voters from owning a gun.
2 NRA Members, killed this latest democrat nutcase, well before the law enforcement could pursue.

Are you saying I'm lying?
There is a Democrat problem.
