Stay classy gun control nuts.
This kind of sentiment is the kind of the thing that could easily go in the
things that are f'd up about the US thread. In
any other (supposedly) civilized country in the world a tragedy like this might actually lead people to reexamine their bizarre gun laws - or lack thereof. When a maniac massacred sixteen people in Dunblane in 1996, there was a near-unanimous consensus that the UK needed to tighten its gun control - and they did, with universal public support.
Only in America is the reaction to things like this a horrified panic at the very
idea that there might have to be the slightest scrap of extra regulation on guns, because, lest we forget, it's a God-given right to allow lunatics to own the kind of tools that let them murder people with wild abandon.
I can't believe you have the
gall to accuse people of "politicizing" this - as if this doesn't inherently have political ramifications and, more to the point, as if your
very post wasn't a sleazy and political attack on those of us who think the sheer amount of violent firearms massacres in the United States might - just
might - warrant a re-examination of the law.
The same goes for Sanchez and Sanders - spare us the phony outrage. Please. The idea that this incident can be shrugged off as "huh, it was just some nut, what you gonna do?" as if it's merely a sad but predictable and even
acceptable event in a healthy society. This isn't normal.
