Yes, let’s discuss how unnecessary they are after all the shooting stops

What would you like to see? Washington has a lot of gun control.

So does nearly every country with extremely low gun violence rates. Now, tell us that doesn’t count for some reason.

Yeah but here in France there was a mass shooting in Paris during the terrorist attack of 2015 (like, almost yesterday but 9 years ago), and Trump had a great speech about it during a (NRA?) conference when he said that it wouldn’t have happened if we had guns! Very smart, MIT and stuff, but no shark, no, sharks bad!

So what gun control do you think we should enact? It is a direct question. No need to be passive aggressive.

Is that why there are kids having a gunfight in a mall?

So it is too soon to talk about gun reform laws since you obviously don’t want to. Got it.

Not enough to curb the fetish, apparently.

You need gun control everywhere in the country. Unfortunately it’s too easy for people to just buy them in the next town and drive them in. That is not a reason to keep letting it happen, of course, but it is why “[city/state] does have laws and there are still problems” arguments are kinda worthless.

And then you gotta wait a long-ass time because even cutting off supply there are already more guns than people in the U.S… Best time to plant a tree and all that means ya’ll need to hurry.

So you would want a near ban on all guns? Just curious what you mean by gun control everywhere.

One thing that I’m sure will come out of this story is the gun is stolen. Washington has safe storage laws, but if you report your gun stolen, you are not liable for any crimes committed with it. It happened when a man shot a mother and child in Seattle and the original owner was okay because he reported it stolen. The government should be prosecuting these negligent gun owners.

I’ve been to this place, ages ago. It was the kind of place you would bring a baby to without a second thought. Crazy that it’s come to this.

What’s crazy is someone saying “It’s somewhere you’d bring a baby to without a second thought” about a fucking shopping mall

I’m not going to argue with you - living as we are car-free now in a walkable city it’s unthinkable for me. But when I was in America, with a car and a baby, it made perfect sense. There were fewer viable third spaces (aside from parks, which is harder for an infant on a rainy day), and just about every viable third space (where we were) was built around car infrastructure.

All that to say you’re not quite wrong, but there’s nuance and the solutions are necessarily political.

I think they meant it’s sad we’re question the safety at all? Vs picking on you for going to a mall

I’m only from big cities. I love malls and parking lots as much as woods and mountains.

Why do they have a statement from the investment firms’s pr department? What does that add to the story? Wgaf what their thoughts are on the matter? It’s really strange.
