I’m talking about American Gundamentalists.
Gundamentalists take unrestricted right to bear arms as a tenet of religious or quasi-religious faith. The worst go into go into knee-jerk denial when approached with any studies or opinion that don’t fit their worldview.
I strongly disagree with those folks on most things because of unintended consequences. Though they deny it, many innocent people die of gun related violence in the USA.

That said, I respect the rights of those who own guns where legal. And hope they store and handle them safely.
I don’t see how authorities could have stopped most of these extremist attacks. 😦
… both tolls are tiny compared with the tally of conventional murders, more than 200,000 over the same period. But the disproportionate focus they draw in the news media and their effect on public fear demand the attention of any administration. …
