In this context the thoughts and prayers cliche has become synonymous with legislative inaction. The consistent refusal to ban assault weapons or require background checks. That's what the point of the joke is. And that will always be its point until some sort of gun control legislative action is taken.

Again, false dichotomy. And mocking the victims to push your preferred politics.
When Minnesota already has strict gun laws and the shooter obtained all his weapons legally, which one of these proposed gun control measures would have stopped this shooting?
Even without the rifle, he had multiple handguns and a shotgun.
