The fact is that an armed society is safer society. There is a reason they're desperate to convince us to give them up (and all you have to do is look at what's happening everywhere else around the world to see what they'd like to have happen here.... but I digress).
No matter what your politics, unless you are a slaver, no one wants more of these mass shootings. Regardless of whether or not you think they're false flag attempts to scare us or not, if we all buy more guns and ammo every time there is a crime where the debate ramps up, either we disincentize the tactic if it indeed is one, or we are a simply a safer society that deters, and prevents, more crime from happening. It's a win/win.
If you're so simple minded that you just hate guns, check yourself and grow up. If you're convinced you're unable to cope with the reality of the situation, move to any number of the places where the right to bear arms is infringed. Best of luck to you and the depths of your statist dreams.
