I have no idea why you think those two are the same answers. However, the bigger issue was your attempting to shut down conversation before it started with your initial reply to my question:

Because Pandoras box is opened and there is no closing it. Criminals will get access to firearms even if they’ve all been banned. Gun control logic is like giving a bandaid to someone with cancer.

We need to fix the why, not the how of our violence issue.

We need to focus on social programs, single payer healthcare, our education system, prison and police reform, and ending the war on drugs. Just these things alone would drop our violence by 100xs what another useless gun control bill would do.

That was a non-answer in response to my question:

Why does the type of gun violence matter? Why does it matter whether or not they know the victims?

I don’t understand the relevance to the gun control discussion.

What “we need to do” had nothing to do with what I asked, but it did attempt to shut down a conversation no one was having before it started.

I’m sure you’ll have some sort of lame excuse for why what you said really did somehow answer that question that didn’t ask about what we need to do or why something happened.
