Gun laws don’t work, even when they do work. The shooter in this case tried to buy a gun but was rejected because of his violent criminal history.
Amazingly, he was still able to get his hands on a gun, despite the legal prohibition, and the victims are just as dead.
I haven’t seen anything about this case except a mention in an X account. I can’t help thinking that if you flipped the script and a police officer shot a black man, there’d be a thousand times more media coverage than a black man shooting a police officer, or shooting multiple police officers, or shooting multiple police officers plus a fireman.
Yes, I know the reason for it but it’s not a good reason.
