People like you make me seriously doubt humanity's ability to ever get it's shit together

Get over yourself. Humor is a completely normal and acceptable way to process tragedy. Displacing your feelings about something onto others is not.

What was supposed to be funny about your joke?

It was funny because it was a criticism of America’s hyper obsession with guns to the point it’s a part of our National identity and culture.

They used irony by highlighting that a headline you constantly see in the US is coming up for the UK. And they got bonus points by weaving in another classic American cultural trope of being paranoid about cultural appropriation.

That’s why it was funny, not because people got injured.

It comments on our love for frivolous lawsuits as well. Very clever, in my opinion.

Yes it's a completely accurate criticism. Using someone's injury as the fuel for it, and connecting something completely unrelated. We must have very different senses of humor, and I respect that people with yours found it funny.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this? They only made a joke about the US.

I don't find using people who got shot as fuel for humor to be funny

I didn't imply that at all. People are fully free to say what they want in a public forum, and the public is allowed to voice their opinions.
