Another Mass Shooting, This One in New Mexico

Some of our gun nuts don't believe we should have any firearms restrictions.
Clearly we do need restrictions, and better enforcement to prevent prohibited individuals from getting armed, as shown by this example from the current news cycle.  We have too many guns, they are too easily available, and we should end our gun culture that glorifies violence and lethal weapons.
Because, clearly, while there is undoubtedly good in all human beings, it is not always the part of an individual human being that is in control of a dangerous lethal weapon.
