    “people who do mass shootings can’t get weapons” just means “everybody gets to do one mass shooting but no more”

      Or just implement a process to check the mental health of people who want to get guns, and if theyre insane and are at risk of doing that, then they dont get the guns

        I reread your comment and I think I parsed it differently than the way you intended it.

        what you said:

        people that might harm themselves or do mass shootings

        what you certainly must have meant by it:

        people who might:

        • harm themselves
        • do mass shootings

        the way I read it:

        people who:

        • might harm themselves
        • do mass shootings

        so there’s where my comment comes from.
