You might think that being a victim – directly or indirectly – of mass murder from rampaging gunmen would cause a person to campaign for gun control. Though this happens, numerous victims take a careful look at their circumstances and the monsters they encountered. They ponder the shooter, they review the gun control laws in place when violence changed their lives – then they actively campaign against more gun control.
