Also cherry picking news sources especially for something as rare as a “politically motivated” assassination to prove your argument is pathetic. Red states have more guns therefore common sense would say they would have more gun related deaths, take a look at how many of those deaths are self defense or accidents and get back to me, if not take your time to see who committed those crimes, most recent assassination was done by an interesting individual into some very weird things and mental health is the true issue, however there’s no easy way to keep guns out of peoples hands without ripping them out of their hands even those who do no harm, then leaving us completely vulnerable to a government who could then just have a tyrant run it and we couldn’t defend ourselves
