We injure/kill each other in lots of different ways, we never have these discussions for knives, bats, hands, cars, etc., etc.
Nothing was stopping this shooting besides guns being outlawed or this guy not being a piece of shit.

Simple point is guns are part of the problem. I'll emphasize part of the problem, not the only problem. The US is an outlier when compared to the rest of the world. We have the most guns, we have the most gun violence. It's been shown time and time again that countries with tighter gun control have less gun violence. Gun violence and specifically mass shootings are a uniquely American problem. But what I keep hearing from people like yourself is oh well, nothing would have stopped this latest incident so why bother trying anything.
