On Facebook, the shooter posted a chilling final message about gun control and how 'prayers and tears' were not enough to stop atrocities such as the one he committed. "Yeah.. I'm insane, but the only thing you people do after these shootings is 'hopes and prayers'.. or 'keep you in my thoughts'... every time... and wonder why these keep happening." If we pass gun control, he wins. Glad to see you are on the same page as the shooter, Eddie. This was an act of political terrorism to further gun control and the victims were presumed by the shooter to be conservatives because they were at a country music concert. Are you really going to take the words of the mad man who shoots people as important? I'm not, just like I'm not going to take mad men like Eddie's words as important either.

This happened in the most gun regulated state, he used a handgun not an "assault rifle." You would literally have to ban guns in their totality to be any stricter. Even then criminals would still choose to keep theirs while everyone else turns them in. Yet again, the obvious problem here is mental health. But, it will be blown off for more gun control marches and other bullsh!t. Why didn't all those tough bans in CA stop this guy from legally buying a handgun in CA AFTER police had been called out to check his mental health? You live in a fantasy world. Even if magically you eliminated all guns on the planet, then a guy with a kitchen knife will kill a room full of unarmed people.

Banning guns, always leads to more violence:

Your fairy-tale story will never happen. Death is part of life. Cigarettes, cheeseburgers and hammers each kill more people than firearms. You’re more likely to die in a work related accident than a victim of random gun violence. You’re welcome to leave the country (since you aren't a real American anyway, Eddie). The laws aren’t changing because of your feelings. Freedom isn’t free, fa99ot. There is risk, there is responsibilities. Innocent people die early all the time and will continue to. Wolves will always exist and sheep will always be preyed upon. If you want to live in a world where the docile masses are kept like sheep in a pen, content to graze on the rations allotted to then by the shepherd, go do that somewhere else. This is America, the land of the FREE AND home of the BRAVE.

The problem isn't "gun violence" it's violence, not the gun. The tool is not violent, it is the person wielding it. Focusing autistically on the tool distracts from the real issues (mental healthcare, criminal gangs, etc.) causing the violence. Getting stabbed to death doesn't make you any less dead.
