    I mean the law can’t stop crimes before they happen either does that mean it doesn’t protect people? If you like freedom you kind of cant just shoot or jail people for no reason.

      Guns are why we’ve had 34 mass shootings in July alone. Almost 300 this year. 3 in the past 24 hours.

      Of all the problems we have in this country, it’s the one thing we seem to avoid trying to mitigate.

      We need to try, and we’re not: https://youtu.be/BoHFjVR9Xyo [5:15]

      Immediately after a newsworthy gun event, it’s “never the time” to talk about safety.

      We have rights to guns, but not rights to have healthcare for when you get shot by the gun. “We have gun care, and health control” to paraphrase Newsom.

        Sure but expecting anyone with a gun from an officer to a bystander to shoot someone before that person does something illegal isn’t gonna fly the same way jailing someone for something they haven’t done yet wont. No one would use that arguement to say the law doesn’t protect people. Hell the shooter was killed while he was stationed at his rifle, the ‘good guys with guns’ literally saved lives.
