Is essence, this boils down to the fact that guns are legal in your country.
This is a fact: as long as guns are legal, insane raging lunatic idiots will also be able to get their hands on them easily. If it were possible to filter them out, that would've happened already. Problem is that lunatics can hide their lunacy when they need to. For example, when purchasing a gun. Outlawing guns would obviously mean that responsible owners give up theirs too, in order to prevent the absolute dumbest shits from shooting innocent people (which happens awhole fuckinglot, there's no denying that). If that's not what your country wants, then you're basically saying "it's okay for things like this to keep happening once in a while, just don't touch mah gunz".
Combine that with shit (mental) healthcare, ridiculous soap-opera politics, the worship of money, a working culture that burns people out and widespread inequality, or the perception thereof (racism/sexism/genderism/etc), you've got some pretty decent ingredients for a disaster of a country :')
Also, hey, don't get all worked up, because (Western) Europe is just as stupid and fucked (except for guns and healthcare).
I promise you that the killer did not own that gun legally, and probably wasn't even allowed to have guns at all
All banning guns will do in America is prevent law abiding citizens from protecting themselves. People like this dude will still 100% have just as easy access to guns.
