Even if we actually find a way that works, they might find another soft target. What would likely do better would be trying to keep potential shooters from following through on their plans. Things like increasing access to mental health services (for those shooters who are aware that something's wrong with them and need help before they do the unthinkable), a more thorough vetting of who's allowed to own guns (including mandatory psych exams for anyone who wants a license to carry firearms), Red flag laws (which, aside from confiscating them from felons, are the only circumstances where I would support the sort of gun confiscation you fear), and maybe some other provisions that I'll explain later because I just got a message there's a tornado warning in my area.No no the solution is to just arm everyone to the teeth
Signed the gun industry
BINGO!
I forgot which mass shooting it was, I've lost count. But after one of these events a local gun shop owner was interviewed by a local station and commented " I feel sorry for them, but sales are going up now". How fucking sick is that?
But especially the CEOs of these companies. They are a business just like any other so their job is to please the shareholders and expand the market to attract more investors. They don't give one fuck about how many get slaughtered, they only care about profits.
