Of course the situations are wildly different and no well-adjusted human being would seriously apply this ridiculousness to this situation, but the typical narrative is an equally silly distraction that is applied without thought again and again. People have a difficult time seeing how criminal history has no bearing in many (not all) of these shootings, but it has become a joke for how widely and casually it's depended on, given how irrelevant of a subject it usually is.
Perfect time for satire. Well thought out.
