However the Right, or the gun people, etc. explain this, you can bet they will find a way. And they'll act like it's nothing at all to be alarmed about. Looking through these comments, I see one person already began: It's about mental health. The guy was schizophrenic? So it's not about guns, or politics, or race, or sex/gender. Problem solved. (Brushes off hands, slaps knees, and drops the mic on the way out.)
Just one thing: So if it's about mental health, how did this guy get a semi-automatic rifle, and ammunition? How did he make it across the country? Well, he didn't make it across the country; law enforcement was on the job. Thank goodness. But there is that small problem about a schizophrenic with such a rifle, even if it was left in his car. That's the gun control problem in a nutshell: Crazy, dangerous people with mental health problems can get such a weapon.
Wouldn't this be the main reason to own such a weapon, too? Isn't he, possibly, protecting the country from those who would destroy it, as per the 2nd amendment? How can anyone establish who is (and isn't) a threat worthy of a January 6th insurrection, or the murder of multiple Asian-Americans (who dared to, ostensibly, bring Covid to our shores), or this guy? I'm sure the guy who busted into the back of that pizza parlor was absolutely certain that children were being tortured, and killed, there.
I don't know what to do, here, except that we should be having, at long last, an actual, honest conversation about just who should be protecting us, and from whom.
