Or maybe we can try to walk and chew gum at the same time. Seems really hard though, and trying for some good to come of a bad event doesn't feel right.

All I can do is laugh at the same old tired arguments that the regressive-right make, only to turn around and completely contradict themselves in the process.

"Mass-shootings are not reason enough to restrict weapons -- *points finger to the sky* SECOND AMENDMENT!!" Oh, but if this "rare event/isolated incident" is committed by a Mozlem, that changes evvvvvvrything. "Ban them from entering; ban them from existing! LOL, First Amendment, what's that? I only know the one that comes afterward" (do right-wingers care about a single amendment other than the second??) "YEEHAW!"

Other events that do not qualify as "rare event/isolated incident" (despite being even rarer) and demand government action are voter-fraud and bathroom sexual-harassment.

The Constitution is a document written by citizens of a pre-industrial society. Assuming that the laws apply to machine-guns and other modern firearm technology is a leap and a very questionable conclusion. Muslims, on the other hand, actually were around at that time and were discussed during the drafting of the Constitution (the founding fathers gave it thought but were ultimately not too worried about them).

And placing restrictions on one kind of firearm is not compromising your Right to Bear Arms. There are still countless firearms at your disposal to hunt or defend yourself, not to mention the many other kinds of weapons that can help you achieve the same end. How about anti-aircraft weapons, should people have those?? You never know when corrupt Feds will show up outside your house with a helicopter!

"Gun-control methods are imperfect, people can still find ways to get around the screenings!"
Listen, oh dense one, these measures may at least work some of the time, which amounts to saved lives in some capacity for each instance, and failures make no difference either way if the alternative is not to bother. That alone provides plenty of justification for them. For all your whining about unborn zygotes/fetuses, your side sure is callous about lives of people actually living.

"Well the solution is that more people ought to be armed, to stop the killer themselves."
Yeah, well, too bad the data shows that that does not actually work. Armed civilians in the midst of mass-shootings have by-and-large been ineffective in stopping the shooter.

Listen, I'm not anti-gun. I think the government should be as permissive as they can sensibly be about allowing citizens to have firearms, but there are many areas where their permission is not sensible, and the arguments in defense of them just do not hold water. This sacred-cow of the right needs to be slaughtered hard.
