    Why didn’t the 8 year old have a gun to defend herself with? That’s the only thing that could have saved her life!

      This is incorrect : she was accidentally shot by a good guy with a gun, who missed and shot the wrong person.

      FTFY

      The people downvoting you are the same people that argue that if we arm more people, we can solve the gun problem. And each downvote is an acknowledgement that their argument is garbage.

        It’s the weather. The cause of gun violence is the weather. You learned it here first, folks. Weather = gun violence.

        Or maybe it’s people that think this sort of rhetoric is tasteless when talking about an event where a kid died.

        Yes, the man should never have had access to a firearm. But a child died for having the misfortune to be born to this sack of shit. That’s the takeaway here. Not some opportunity to try and stick it to the strawmen in your head.

        These sort of “hot takes” are nothing more then mental masturbation, looking for validation from people who already share your own beliefs.

        Seriously take a step back and think about the fact that you just built up some fucking narrative to place yourself as the hero against a horde of people lesser than yourself. That’s your response to this news.

        You sure showed all the pro gun jackasses! They definitely are bothered by your post and absolutely seething! Whatever makes you feel like you’ve done the superior thing and that you think the right things to think.

        Your views aren’t wrong, you’re just being a tool.

        A child is dead, and you’re more invested in finding a way to feel superior to others than anything else. Fuck everything about that.
