Yes, enacting policies in reaction to unfortunate events is literally reactionary.

yes in order to solve this fortunate event let's further entrench the monopoly on violence claimed by our dictatorship of the bourgeousie and their class traitor pigs. that surely will solve this problem and protect further innocent lives from being lost, particularly at the hand of organized fascists.
You sound like a libertarian.
yeah libertarians are so concerned with the dictatorship of the bougeousie
you sound like OP's alt that got logged into after 3 months of downtime

While the government exists in service of capitalism, that's basically true. We can hope to grow the government in terms of social services because that increases socialization/nationalization of things currently owned by the private sector; increasing government responsibility, not government power. Freely giving power to a government in service of capital seems counterproductive.
Yeah and a tragedy is a type of Greek play; debatebro garbage has no place in actual leftist discussion.

Look, the facts speak for themselves. All gun control legislation passed by this country has been racist or discriminatory in nature. Any legislation going forward is likely to be as well as long as capitalism remains the dominant mode of production.
The problem is that the United States is materially & institutionally constituted such that any such legislation that could've actually stopped this is probably neither passable, actionable, or effective.
Need I remind you that it is literally a core part of our Constitution (a thing you cannot change without a congressional super-majority, and which ostensibly overrules all other enacted laws) that says that you cannot federally ban gun-ownership.
Beyond that; in what world is US Law enforcement going to enforce those laws against Neo-Fascists? Maybe in the entirely hypothetical world in which you could democratically remove the 2nd Amendment, that could happen.
Do we live in that world?
