I Think Its Sad

59 people died yesterday and 500 were injured. But yet people laugh and make jokes. Many of you have criticized America for our rights to own guns. Trust me I know we have a problem as well but to sit there when so many have died, when so many are grieving over lost loved ones you bash them for being there or you point your fingers and say we deserved it. NO one deserves to be gunned down. A little more compassion during this time is what's needed. And hopefully later we can fix what needs fixing.

No one has bashed you even if they have raised the spectre of guns in America. The world has more nuance than that, but they equally see a spade and maybe it wasn't the appropriate time, as I would have told anyone perceiving callously, why do we let such anger happen and how do we stop someone shooting openly on thousands?

@SW-User oh there were a few bashing posts yesterday. Tighter gun control. It would be nice not to have them here all together but I know that's not going to happen anytime soon.

@littlepinklotus Yes, but sadly shootings like this (which become political) do open the door. I don't anticipate much, but there is a chance the American public will reject Trump and create a response that would never have happened under Obama.
