saw this comment on an article about today's shooting in Illinois. What do you say to this?
The comments are fascinating and may provide some clues why there is so much gun violence in the US. Without knowing anything about the perpetrator, many people are making assumptions that he must be a Democrat or Republican, left, right, Antifa, Trump supporter, etc. There seems to be so much hate directed at someone who aligns with a different political view. In Canada the most recent mass shooting was in April 2020. The perpetrator was disguised as a police officer and had a mocked-up car that looked like a real police vehicle. 22 people were killed during the rampage. Within two weeks, the Prime Minister announced a ban on 1,500 makes and models of military-grade and assault-style weapons. There hasn't been a mass shooting since.
But weapons bans don't make any difference, right?
