Depends, but yeah it can be. Joking at something so dark might shame a few people in being honest about the problem. US gun laws are ab obvious joke pushed by politicians that don't care about dead kids, they just care about votes. I find that much more abhorrent.
I think it's Europeans on Lemmy who apparently think the US is a political monolith and they're making some kind of point. As if any American on a site like this isn't fully aware of the problem. I doubt it, frankly. If it's an American posting it, they should probably know that already and find a more suitable platform. Kinda preaching to the choir here. The thing is, if there were an easy solution we would have found it. Again, people who really don't understand the scope of the political and cultural problem posting snide and frankly ignorant comments doesn't help anything, in my opinion.
You think making fun of murdered kids is valid criticism?
