Why?

As I noted, I am in favor of stricter gun laws- strongly so- but in discussing these kinds of tragedies- certainly in the context of culture, it seems to me addressing these issues would make dealing with gun culture much easier.

No, it just shifts the focus. It’s something that we’ve been doing for years now, telling ourselves “This guy was crazy, the gun wasn’t at fault.” The fact that the crazy guy was able to get his hands on an arsenal is always treated as a secondary issue, something we can get around to once we address the mental health one.
