Funny thing is olb is trying to arm victims to make less of them (and hopefully kill the bad guy category) and Brian is trying to lessen the gun category to lessen them. They’re both striving for the same goal in different categories.
I think you’re being deliberately obtuse. Of course all shootings involve guns, but to claim that qualifies as a connection, when the topic is the phrase ‘isolated incident’ is tautological to the point of uselessness. Cancer is a disease - does that fact mean that all cancers are somehow connected?
Suppose that Joe in Seattle shoots himself in the foot while cleaning his gun. Further suppose that Jim in Miami shoots a clerk and two cops during a robbery. Other than the fact that both involve guns, what is the connection between the incidents?

Edit: Please note that Joe’s shooting didn’t invoke a ‘bad guy’.
