Maybe Elon doesn't know. Jack Dorsey never told conservatives how long they would be suspended for but I never heard a single liberal fascist complain about that.
Give me a few examples of that.
Does the shooter face hate crime charges? That must mean one or more of his victims was either black or a sex pervert. Leftists do not generally classify murders of straight white people as hate crimes. Obama was even worse, refusing to classify the Fort Hood massacre by a radical Muslim as a terror attack, choosing instead to classify the mass murder hate crime as an incident of workplace violence. Leftists have strange ways of classifying crimes.Colorado Springs Shooting Suspect Faces Murder Charges
The suspect was also being held on hate crimes charges. Five people died in the rampage inside a gay nightclub, and 18 were injured before the gunman was subdued by patrons.
COLORADO SPRINGS — Investigators filed murder and hate crimes charges on Monday against the suspect accused of shooting up an L.G.B.T.Q. nightclub in Colorado Springs on Saturday night, killing five people. At least 25 were injured in the mayhem before the gunman was subdued by patrons, according to the authorities and the club’s owners. . . .
Richard M. Fierro said he was at a table in Club Q with his wife, daughter and friends on Saturday, watching a drag show, when the sudden flash of gunfire ripped across the nightclub. His instincts from four combat deployments as an Army officer in Iraq and Afghanistan instantly kicked in. Fight back, he told himself.
In an interview at his house, where his wife and daughter were still recovering from injuries, Mr. Fierro, 45, who left the Army in 2013 as a major, according to military records, described charging through the chaos at the club, tackling the gunman and beating him bloody with the gunman’s own gun. . . .
When the shooting started, Mr. Fierro said, he hit the floor, pulling a friend down with him. As bullets sprayed, he saw the gunman move through the bar toward a door leading to a patio where dozens of bar patrons had fled. Mr. Fierro, who served in the Army for 15 years, said he raced across the room, grabbed the gunman by a handle on the back of his body armor, pulled him to the floor and jumped on top of him.
“Was he shooting at the time? Was he about to shoot? I don’t know,” Mr. Fierro said. “I just knew I had to take him down.”
The gunman, who Mr. Fierro estimated weighed more than 300 pounds, sprawled onto the floor, his military-style rifle landing just out of reach. Mr. Fierro started to go for the rifle, but then saw that the gunman had a pistol as well.
“I grabbed the gun out of his hand and just started hitting him in the head, over and over,” Mr. Fierro said. . . .

Already questions were being raised about why authorities didn't seek to take the suspect's guns away from him in 2021, when he was arrested after his mother reported he threatened her with a homemade bomb and other weapons.
Though authorities at the time said no explosives were found, gun control advocates are asking why police didn't try to trigger Colorado's "red flag" law, which would have allowed authorities to seize the weapons his mother says he had. There's also no public record prosecutors ever moved forward with felony kidnapping and menacing charges against the suspect.

In what way are the current gun control laws not "sensible"?
Obviously, the current gun control laws are not sensible enough to prevent mass shootings like the one that just occurred from happening again times infinity in the future. So obviously, our gun control laws need to be a bit more sensible than they are now.

And if they are not sensible, shouldn't they be abandoned?

Are mass shootings not against the law?
Why continue talking about gun control laws when the problem is mass shootings? Why are leftards like you always talking about gun control when, instead, you should be talking about mass shooting control?

What gun control law would have prevented WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Russia/Ukraine, etc? Just give us one example.
Why bother? Let's just leave things the way they are now, which will just ensure that mass shootings at schools and elsewhere will continue to happen.

What kind of answer is that to a legitimate question?

You must not think there is a problem if you don't want to do anything about it.

Why assume that? Is a war a "mass shooting event elsewhere"?
No one I know of, except you, suggests that gun control laws could prevent wars between nations.

Guns don't kill people; people kill people.
If it's true the NRA "bans guns from their events", then the NRA executives are working with the gun-grabbers, and should be rejected and condemned for it. But, contrary to what is said by the sad sack in the Twitter message you posted, certain people ARE banned from NRA events: viz., people who intend to commit murder and violence.
