The thing is, this is mostly reactionary politics. They do this because it’s easy and they can say “see we did something, gib vote”.
Instead phsychological care is being reduced, which would be way more valuable in the long term.
I am not saying gun laws are bad, just that they don’t pose that much of a problem in Austria if it weren’t for psychological issues. Not to speak about alcohol, unrelated to the shooting but ffs thats an issue nobody touches because “culture”-_-. I just mention this because regulating this properly and/or providing psychogical care for alcohol problems, or even aknowledging that it IS a problem, would go way further in preventing harm and accidents.
Not as interesting of an issue of course, no outrageous headlines to be made that don’t negatively impact politicians…
