MAGA are more angry about this "shooting" than they are about school shootings. Why is that?

They're shooting the wrong people!
This may have been said as a joke, but it's true, and also about as far as any Republican voter cares. They are not at all against political violence, as that is the explicit purpose of modern Second Amendment culture. Personal grievance murders like school and workplace shootings are just collateral that the ghouls write off.
I don't think it's a coincidence that the NRA became a highly political organization not long after desegregation and civil rights became settled, and you had to start treating black people like people in polite company.
The NRA supported California's Mulford Act, which prohibited open carry of loaded weapons in public. This act was in response to the Black Panthers choosing to carry guns to deter abusive cops.
The NRA isn't a gun rights organization. They are just Republicans.
