      “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.
