Yep. This tragedy would not have been prevented at all as the Mother legally purchased the guns. The amount of guns purchased is irrelevant to the story because even one gun would have resulted in the same outcome. I really wish lawmakers would look at this realistically. The kid was a dooshbag and leave it at that.
Instead of politically? Good luck with that. :-(

The reality is that this fact hurts our side, rather than helps it.
It bolsters the left’s argument that “background checks are not enough” — that is to say, the only way to keep guns “out of the hands of criminals” will be to end their sale, altogether. And too many of the public will swallow this pill whole. Same for politicians (even Republican ones) looking to “get the pressure off their backs”.
This will be used against us.
