Ahhh yes, the q fall back of "false equivalency" Regardless,
the point is that alleged Constitutional absolutists are extremely selective about it. They are almost all the 2A type -- I have a right to an automatic weapon b/c otherwise I shall be infringed, I a right to a silencer so my ears won't hurt or so I won't have to wear inconvenient ear protection. Please.
Bottom line is this: if you subscribe to this absolutist theory, then don't waste everyone's time with hollow "thoughts and prayers" every time this happens. Because it will keep happening. Can we stop every one? Of course not. Maybe not even this one, as you pointed out. But if we could stop 1, just 1, with a little tighter controls, wouldn't it be worth it?
