Remember the movie "Wallstreet"? Michael Douglas claimed "Greed is Good".
Now, happy people with guns should have no reason to become a mass murderer. But society changed. Opioid epidemic means killing more people means more profit. In this environment, we must change. We have to limit the availability of guns that can kill people so easily so fast. 2nd amendment yes but when Gov has F-35, what chances average citizens have to resist and win against them. Voting is one way but for guns, I think license/reg/insurance is the way to go to limit the availability.

Sadness
The movie about "Greed is Good" was like a turning point in America. Today "the Handmaid's Tale" seems like another turning point. The increasing quantity of guns (and type) in the last 2 years may be a bad premonition of things to come.
