Is human life really so cheap that ownership of guns outweighs it?

We now exist in a society for when a tragic shooting takes place, there apparently is no time used to grieve. No time for people to show reverence for the dead and no time to just show respect for all the victims. We are all encouraged to have an initial act of outrage, without ever taking the time in letting the facts and evidence unfold.


It has becomes a race by both sides of the political spectrum in order to place the blame on the other side for the tragedy. The media wants us to believe that the shooter always had to be motivated by a particular ideology, in order to commit such a heinous act.

How low have both sides become? Why is there always this insistence by the media to use tragedies for one side's political gain?

We need to all take a collective breath and stop feeding into these partisans on both sides, who use tragedies to instill hatred of our political opponents.

Time for all of us as decent human beings to learn how to act with class when a tragedy occurs. Wait for the gathering of evidence, and then come to a conclusion on why and how this particular incident took place, based upon the facts, along with an extensive investigation.

Most of the time these tragedies boil down to a mentally disturbed person, just reaching his/her tipping point and snapping. People within families need to pay close attention to loved ones struggling. With the proper attention, help and genuine care, most of this stuff could become avoidable.

Let's all respect the dead, especially when tragedies take place and put an end to scoring points politically.

Let's all make an attempt to resemble decent and caring human beings, and not pawns of particular ideologies/media outlets, which love to take advantage of our emotions, when we initially react to these types of tragic scenarios.
