    See! SWORDS also kill people! Even though he could have killed that entire boys family plus a couple more with a gun, I DON’T CARE! PRO LIFE!

                I’d venture a guess the majority of users here are American and just trying to solve our stupid American shit.

                If you don’t care, then just ignore. If you do care about reducing deaths in America, then let these conversations play out.

                  Posting some polemic kneejerk reactionary comments about Murica in threads that are not about America is not going to reduce deaths in America. It only derails the actual topic with Americentrism that other people will just perceive as rude.

      Either everyone got whooshed by your sarcasm and underlying point or there are more gun lubbers on here than I thought.

          If anyone directly subjected to the tragedy were here I might be inclined to agree, but this isn’t the funeral. So personally I think it’s a great time to connect the dots between this event, and what could’ve been had the lethal effectiveness of the shooter been elevated. With the goal in mind to mitigate future tragedies, I see nothing tone deaf about it. I see it as very productive.

          I mean really, what else are we supposed to talk about in these comments…?
