Deranged would-be shooters need MENTAL HEALTH CARE, forget gun control.
@SandraHelena39 Are we talking about "gun deaths" or spree shootings / massacres? I would make a distinction.

@mtracey pls just go check the number of mass shootings AND "gun deaths" in the US v. Europe/Canada/Australia -
@SandraHelena39 What about the countries with high rates of gun ownership that have much less gun violence? Canada, Israel, Switzerland? - 2 more replies

@mtracey every yr in the US 20,000 children die of gun violence-far worse in my native Brazil which has crap gun control laws -
@SandraHelena39 That's why I would want to distinguish between "gun violence" as a broad category and mass shootings like today's incident.
