Gun control is just a huge fucking joke.. California has strict gun control [...]

Uhm, no - it doesn't. There isn't a single place in USA with "strict gun control", not by any sensible standards.  And even if there was - what difference would it make, if you can easily smuggle guns from neighbouring states? And even if you couldn't - how long before all those hundreds of millions of guns already in circulation stop working?

But anyway - who cares? People will be dying of something. Mass shootings and even all gun-related murders are nothing compared to the number of car accident casualties. It's all a matter of balancing the benefits and the negative effects, just like with cars.

I mean sure - it doesn't look good when a dozen children get their brains splattered all over the chalk-board once a week, but after all guns must be giving Americans so many benefits, that a few children bodies surely are a small price to pay. Just chuck them in a ditch and go hunting, or defending yourselves against terrorists, or the government, or something awesome like that...

And another "idea" - when automobiles became popular and the number of pedestrians being killed by them rose dramatically, causing public outrage, the US government, inspired by car-manufacturing lobbies implemented "Look where you're going, idiot! It's your own fault if you get ran over." laws, preventing pedestrians from using the streets, as they did before. Just have a law requiring everyone to wear bullet-proof garments and run everywhere bent to the ground and zig-zaging, to make for a harder target. Those damn victims need to be regulated...
