They missed the part where he has a history of mental health issues and had heard voices telling him to kill people. He should have lost access to his guns.

Or you know, we could only give guns to people that really really need them instead of making a hobby out of it

Ehhhh maybe it's my American showing, but I've known lots of hobbyist clay shooters that are responsible, great people. Not to mention that hunting is more than a hobby to many; it's a way of life. I don't think we should police hobbies to that degree. Much moreso, we should have initial and updated background checks on gun owners.

I wasn’t aware that hunting was a hobby created after the invention of assault rifles. Pretty sure hunting has been a way of life since forever so I don’t think gun control is going to destroy that hobby.

How can you honestly be arguing hobbies are more important than doing something to protect human lives?

There are hunters in every country, gun control laws account for them. They're rarely the problems though accidents do occur.
