You know what needs to stop? Both of them. You know what’s in our capacity as human beings to address? Both of them.
Talking about one does not remove the necissities to address the other, and addressing the other takes nothing away from individuals championing reforms of the former.
This isn't about one person. In the words of Mos Def - "Why did one straw break the camel's back? Here's the secret: the million other straws underneath it."

That is an issue of concern but entirely irrelevant to this topic.
I completely agree with you. I'm not saying this is the only thing that needs to stop but it's the only thing I can have a slight impact on. If any politician wants to advocate gun control I'd be supporting it 100%
Nobody shrugs. Fixing it on the other hand in the USA - good luck.

There's only so much we can do to prevent atrocities committed by isolated psychopaths. The only possible cure -- strict universal gun control -- is not part of the conversation right now.
Can our police be trusted with all the rights, all the privileges, and all the guns? That may be a tough sell at the moment.
