"just have their logins changed so they are no longer a threat."
A lot of those devices have logins/passwords hardcoded in them.

"these companies are all China-based, how would you even enforce such a law upon them?"
Maybe by a DoJ (DoC?) order banning their importation?
"The emails are accurate and we know that because the DKIM signatures validate."
You don't really know what DKIM is, do you?
"What does education have to do with intelligence"
Obviously, you have neither.
"It's Trump or slavery."
Holy crap. You're batshit nuts.
The people calling for a complete ban are a minority. I can't even remember a single prominent politician calling for that. Unless you have data to disprove it?
Nice start. Idiotic ending. I hope it was just your bean-rich diet that caused that temporary brain fart.
"The people that do this are the problem, not the firearms. "
I hope, you - as an IT professional - understand what the most efficient way of solving a problem at hand is. Otherwise, I hope you're an IT researcher.
"There is not a single case of these mass shootings where the shooter just took a gun from someone and then committed the crime."
But there are multiple cases of children getting hold of guns, which you - being an IT professional well trained in logical thinking and analysis - undoubtedly considered, but disregarded, didn't you?
The "but they will do something else to kill people" argument. At-a-boy! The cookie jar is in the kitchen.
"Then they'll just use bombs like in Belgium. Same result."
Different effort.
"You could remove all guns and mass killings will still occur.
Mix some bleach and ammonia and throw it around. Put together an explosive. Drive a car over the sidewalk. Poison the water supply. Release weaponized viral agents into a high population area."
More brilliant logic. Do you even try to analyse your arguments before producing them or it's just a knee jerk reaction now?
"All sounds nice in paper, but yet, you still can buy cocaine easily"
So, by your logic, we should repeal the laws on murder, rape, theft, etc., because those crimes still happen despite all of the efforts?
"it's really a shame that no one in the staff (save for one guy at the entrance) had a concealed firearm on them. This could be over in minutes with fairly minimal casualties."
You've never been to a night club, have you?
PS. To clarify: my problem is with the second sentence.
Who judges all gun owners by the bad apples? Did anybody say "all gun owners are bad"? Or "no gun owners can be trusted with any guns"? Has anyone ever said that it was all the gun owners who were the problem? I hope that straw man was accidental.
I bet Oligonicella was rather proud of that "killer" argument.
It's always funny when people "shoot from the hip" without realizing that they're actually proving their opponents' point.
