As I said in the initial post, keep politics out of this. This includes gun politics. We're not trying to start a big argument here about guns or anything.

I will correct one thing, and then call it that. Your comment is factually inaccurate. The shooter did not purchase an assault rifle. He was using guns that belonged to his mother. When he attempted to purchase a rifle before the attack, he was unable to do so. All the guns he used were stolen. And he only used pistols in the attack. Not assault rifles.

Now that the factual inaccuracies have been pointed out, I will once again request that you abide by my request to leave politics out of this. American gun politics are, quite literally, irrelevant to the discussion as I framed it. As I said earlier, I'll delete this myself if it spirals off into an asinine discussion of gun politics.
