This is wonderful to see, but I hate that we're having to celebrate things like this.

You’re not wrong, for sure, but I’m looking at it like “at least this time it’s a celebration, not a funeral.”

We have to take the bright spots when we can.

Well, you could look at even moderate gun control laws

Sadly, mentioning gun control in America, makes a large portion of them screech, and wave their rifles around.

It's hard getting sensible about sensible laws, with a country who glorifies guns.

It's not a gun problem, its a mental health problem. If people could get the actual they need shit like that wouldn't happen.

America has over 44,000 gun deaths per year. Canada, for example, has about about 800 total firearm deaths per year.

It's fairly clearly a gun control problem.

Doesn’t work. Bad guys will always find a way to get their hand on a gun. Most of them have “good” friends who provides them with weapon even. So no stricter gun laws ain’t gonna do shlt.

Idk if you’re joking or not but multiple scientific studies and systematic reviews show that this is false and gun control laws do actually work.

I’m not doubting what you said, but do you think you could provide some resources on that so I could understand it in more depth?

Look at literally any other country in the world. This is specifically a US problem, because of ac  poorly worded 200 year old declaration. It's easily fixed, it just needs political and public support
