    I think the better response, even if a democrat voter DOES do something like this in the future is “Yeah, ok, but it’s your policies that allowed him to get a gun so easily without any mental wellbeing checks, or any gun control. Our policies would have stopped him. Your policies gave him free reign.”

      That’s not an effective argument.

      It wasn’t his gun, it was his father’s, and he took it without the knowledge or permission of the gun’s legal owner.

        Stricter storage requirements could have potentially have prevented this. Legally Pennsylvania doesn’t have any particular gun storage requirements, had his dad kept tighter control of his gun, perhaps to comply with a law mandating it be locked up and prevent his son from having access to it without his permission, it wouldn’t have happened.
