Colorado adopted background checks on private gun sales months after the December 14, 2012, attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School. Gabby Giffords’ gun control group describes Colorado’s background check gun control as “universal background checks,” which means private sales require the same background check as a retail sale.
Moreover, Colorado has a red flag law, a ban on the sale of “high capacity” magazines, and gun storage requirements, among other controls.

Because becoming "numb to it all" and learning to "accept it and move on" is exactly the opposite? Just for kicks and giggles, let's see how Oxford defines "vapid"...

The last time we had one of these it was a religious shooting, just a Muslim one.
Same God, same source of hatred, different book.
That guy was far from a devout Muslim though, and it wasn't a religious killing. He was a regular at the club. Closeted gay alcoholic. Do you know how Muslims feel about those things?

Having a debate about guns does jack too.
What you need to do is discover why society is suddenly creating monsters that will do this. The guns have always been there; the shootings have not. Taking away guns (impossible even if every legal owner complied without a blood bath) just attempts to cover up greater societal sickness, not address it directly.
It's like saying, "My kid throws violent temper tantrums and hits his classmates with toys. Clearly, the toys are the problem. If we take them away, he can't hit his classmates with them. Problem solved."
But because you leftists hate, hate, hate guns and the idea the idea many, many people in this country own them safely and sanely and it prevents your ideals of Utopia, you use any excuse to angle for it, even the actions of the monsters your own Utopia is creating.

"The motive of the crime is part of the investigation and whether this was a hate crime is part of that investigation," Colorado Springs Police Department Deputy Chief Adrian Vasquez said.
Last year several different Colorado Springs news outlets reported that he was arrested in a menacing case there involving a possible bomb threat.
