Nobody is arguing that externalities don't matter. You have to respond to events that happen in your life.

Inner peace is whether those families can come to terms with what happened and be happy, or whether they will live in emotional turmoil forever.

I think it's extremely hard to come to terms with what happened and be happy, if what happened (or rather, what is happening) is "I'm currently being chased out of my own home because people online want me dead because my child was gunned down in a domestic terrorist attack".

You'd think so, but some of the autobiographies of Holocaust survivors appear to show that it's possible.
