I'd rather talk about mass shootings—which is a problem that America currently has—instead of mass killings, which is not.

My point is that maybe we shouldn't see this in isolation.

Paying insurance is stupid - until your house burns down.

Guns for every law abiding citizen that wants one (and paying a few lives every year) is stupid until your uncles, brothers and sons are marched out in the woods and shot.

This happened less than 30 years ago way to close to me.

What I wish NRA would do though is fighting for stricter rules for gun storage, teaching risk assessment (do you really need your loaded handgun to be available for your kids?) etc.
