Well certainly. I have to use what I consider civilized. It’s quite possible that our opinions on what constitutes that differ.

I think what it comes down to, for me, is that I just fundamentally cannot consider anything that doesn’t happen on the federal level significant.
Strict regulations on guns in one state/city are pointless if you can just drive over to the next and fill up. It also makes things needlessly complicated for gun owners.
My point is that while americans in a specific location may care, I cannot consider Americans (capital) to be doing something unless the federal government acts.
If you consider the fact that they cannot as ‘deliberate and fundamental’ to your society, and you’d rather have these shootings than infringe on that, then by all means. But I will never be able to understand that.
In my opinion the whole reason for the federal government to exist is that they can act in situations like these.
