Godwin stated his law (which is defined by reference to Hitler of Nazism in a discussion) because he saw how frequently and quickly the comparisons were made, and because most of the time it was a highly inappropriate comparison. That's not the case here. Gun laws are directly related to the topic of this thread.
Your definition of 'different versions of Godwin's law' can be applied to literally any statement. The creator's alternate versions are also related to highly inappropriate comparisons. Again, not the case here.
Anyways, I digress.
Horribly terrible incident. As a country, we have a duty to take measures to prevent future attacks, and we should have taken those measures years ago. The most effective actions, as far as I can tell, would be gun legislation.
I personally can't understand how anyone can justify their need to own a military grade weapon. It's mind-boggling that this is even still a debate.

Forgot to refresh, Sapta beat me to the punch. Gun laws that are relevant to this case would be some sort of ban on assault weapons, because as far as I can tell, there are no logical justifications for owning one. But hopefully this massacre has shaken gun rights activists enough to allow some of the other common sense gun laws they'd be more likely to compromise on
