I don't believe it, I know it. Experts on gun violence know it as well.
Tactical Nuke:
"experts on gun violence" would know some things called "the black market" and "handguns"

2/3 of voters want stricter gun control laws now, but I guess democracy isn't good when you disagree with the result, right?

If you knew about "the black market" you would also know that almost all gun crime is done using legally purchased weapons. Also that the amount of gun deaths would be significantly reduced if assault weapons were banned, as previously mentioned.
I know shootings like this are not politically convenient for pro-gun conservatives like you but there's overwhelming evidence stricter gun control would lead to less gun deaths overall.

"The perpetrator of Wednesday's horrific school shooting in Parkland, Fla., purchased his military-style assault weapon legally. So did the man who shot more than 400 people in Las Vegas in October."
If the journalist isn't going to bother naming the type of gun that was used then it is clear that they have no clue what they are talking about and should be disregarded.
