my issue was with what you said originally and how you said it, not a revised opposition to someone theoretically and exclusively using something in a lazy manner.
If you are no longer calling it stupid, illogical and foolish to bring up 'would it have stopped it' then thats fine and we are not arguing over much.
What i've added to my position should have been in the original post of mine, o well...
Still I feel you glanced over or misunderstood a passage in that post that could have made most of those additions clear:

but in general discussing gun laws and single events in terms of prevention is foolish, and usually is a way for people who instinctively reject all gun control to deflect form the core issue which is TOTAL gun deaths and TOTAL mass shootings.
"and" should likely be omitted. you seem to have made a few contentions, but don't fit the " instinctively reject all gun control to deflect form the core issue" category. only stupid people instinctively reject things without thinking, so my posts have only ever applied to stupid people. granted, i use phrases such as "stupid" in a cavalier manner. but on this subject i mean truly stupid people not just people i think are dumber than me.
