    Are you referring to the time that one parent could work in a factory and afford a house + living expenses for a family of four?

    Those glory days before the civil rights movement?

    When urban population density was too low to justify suburbs?

    Before police had qualified immunity for every shooting?

    Of course in different times with different laws and circumstances, with different weapons and less availability, and lower urban densities, things were different.

    That’s completely irrelevant to the impact of gun regulations on the number of shootings; that is, the proven statistical correlation between gun regulations and fewer mass shootings.

    Your supposition that any man willing to commit a mass shooting would be able to get a gun is similarly fanciful and immaterial

      I wouldn’t say it’s completely irrelevant to gun violence, but it’s very relevant to violence in general.
