the issue for
debate
isn't the bodies, it's the facts.
if the gun was illegally obtained there isn't much of a debate to be had unless you're against all guns. this is especially true if it's a handgun as those are more regulated than others. could try to talk about loopholes and whatnot sure but facts of the case would matter there.
all that's really accomplished is people yelling at each other about guns vs. no guns early on in these things. you could argue about things that are acceptable and things that aren't but it doesn't really relate to the shooting, that's just an excuse to argue.
