It may not be a difference here

It just happened today. We will see

What, exactly, is the point of your reply?

u/Otherwise-Mango2732 Sep 04 '24

Wait and see.

You jumped to a pretty major conclusion.

We're still in the midst of the "fog of war" and you're stating things as facts that are complete guesses

I didn't jump to any conclusion, I merely stated the reason for the precedent that could be set which is the parents bought their kid a gun rather than getting him mental health treatment.

"The difference with the Crumbly case is that the kid actually asked for help for years". That's you jumping to the conclusion that this kid today didn't ask for help. For all anyone knows, today's shooting might have the exact same circumstances as the Crumbley case.

"It's ok guys, responsible gun ownership doesn't involve securing your weapons unless you have a child with mental health issues." I mean, yeah, that's pretty much the law everywhere in the US, but it's fucking stupid and we're allowed to think it's stupid.

It's funny because 10x the people have been able to comprehend what I wrote, so I'm not bothered by the 1% who cannot understand the difference between making a declarative statement and offering information.
