    Damn you went all out with the absurdity of that straw man. Nice one!

    Politicians are constantly criticizing their opponents without necessarily presenting alternative solutions. A murder done with a political motive is a political murder. A political murder is a political message. “The system sucks so bad that there are people out there who are willing to take arms because of it.” That’s the message, in case you seriously still had not figured it out yourself.

    The book was only referenced in order to emphasize that political motive by bringing up the fact that the health insurance sector is rotten and many have grievances against it. The methods the author would prefer are irrelevant to that fact, as the shooter clearly arrived at a different conclusion.

    It was a murder. Mentioning the name of the book gives it a political motive. A political murder is a political message. It’s not that complicated, I’m just pointing this out to you since it evidently flew over your head earlier and the other commenter didn’t spell it out for you.

    The pursuit of capital is a thing elsewhere, yes, but that pursuit isn’t in control of legislation (at least as badly as it is over there in the US). Instead it is (mostly) controlled by legislation. This is the crucial difference between the US and most of the developed world. This is what would need to change before your dream of a legislative solution could be realised.
