Would it make sense for those who advocate for gun laws to commit gun violence as a way to tell the country that guns are a major issue?

Yes, makes sense

No, doesn’t make sense

“I'm sure someone's mother, father, sibling, child had a completely treatable but expensive to treat illness that UHC decided was not covered under their healthcare and at that point in their grief snapped. Like what would you or i do if your child was denied treatment so UHC's board members got bigger bonuses on top of their already seven figure salaries. Pretty sure i would at the very least consider this route.” - comment on Reddit regarding story

You are taking two separate things for a narrative 🤦‍♂️

So I’m not celebrating the death of the CEO, every death is a tragedy though (and you have to understand this) a lot of people are fed up with the Corrupt, Greedy, and Disgraceful Healthcare System so they are sharing their stories about getting fucked in the ass by the greedy system. They aren’t justifying it, they are using it as a tool to talk about big issues that affect everyday men & women in this country for one.

For two, Gun Laws. Yeah if there was universal gun laws that wouldn’t have happened. If they made him take a test, get registration, and be of certain age to acquire such a firearm would make it more difficult for every person in this country to do such a shooting. It was found out shootings in Chicago, the guns were found in Indiana where the laws are looser. Clearly if it was universal in the whole country wide effort there would be less maniacs with guns, less manics with guns to commit attrocities. Period.

*I’d rather have a more broad conversation on Gun Law & Healthcare System, though this is not the conversation to have when people point fingers & spread conspiracies for their own benefit.

A few dozen lazy bbq with the fam if you could imagine is actually a fun time. Good Christmas Thanksgiving dinner is potential a highlight of the year. You remember as a kid you hated to go begging not to go.

All the more reason to care about random gun violence steals away from these important moments that we do take for granted untill there is a empty chair at the family table.

Is there no empathy response. Just head first into some conspiracy?

I think that the comment on Reddit was right on the mark. In addition to the example described there, selling people Medicare Advantage plans and promising them all sorts of extras that you then don't deliver on is likely to make many people VERY ANGRY. Medicare Advantage is basically a scam and United Healthcare sells a lot of these plans.
