i really do not understand how when someone says that there have been over 300 shootings in 2018, claiming that most of them are suicides/gang violence/didn't take place in a school or venue. suicide by gun and shooting someone to death with a gun in a gang war is just as bad as a mass shooting in a bar somewhere. i feel like we need to put more thorough guidelines on guns, but maybe we need to do more than that, like mental health awareness and law reform and the like, yknow?
Most of all we need proper enforcement of the laws we already fucking HAVE since pretty much every mass shooting in recent memory came about from someone who already legally wasn’t allowed to have guns got them anyway or because some idiot forgot to put them on the “do not sell guns to this person” list.
