The historic Union Station in Kansas City became the latest backdrop for a mass shooting as gunfire near the end of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl celebration.
Don’t you think that if we are ever going to stop this kind of thing we have to address the reasons? When tiny disputes erupt in gun fire, that’s a very good reason to implement more gun control. It’s evidence that widespread gun availability does NOT actually make us safer. When it’s an unmedicated kid killing strangers or whatever, then people get to hide behind the “we don’t know why this happened, if only there was a good guy with a gun” etc.
To the victims, yeah it probably matters little. To people reading headlines? Yeah terrorism is different than school shooting type crimes which are different from your average “this is why guns are banned at bars”.
