> Think of all the mentally unstable people, with access to firearms, who believe the most ridiculous propaganda that's being shoveled to them

That is a misnomer. Most people with guns are not unstable, but has been influenced by a barrage of propaganda like "it is OK to take the law into your own hands", "Only real men own guns" and even trump as president got into the act in 2020 when he lost the election. 99.999% mentally unstable people harm themselves instead of others. Just look at US entertainment, most of it is about a single person, usually with a gun, getting his way using violence instead of methods that are legal.

Maybe with this sad occurrence, CEOs will force their bought and paid for congress critters to do something about gun violence in the US. You know, like real gun control.
