(I don’t equate the two myself, but it’s usefully illustrative of a mindset we find hard to understand in this country).

You don't equate that mindset because it makes no sense, people die in road accidents, this was no accident and nor are any of the other mass shooting events that happen almost monthly if not weekly and I'll hazard a guess and say most Americans wouldn't feel their 2nd amendment rights were being violated if there were more stringent background checks and mental health checks to get guns
