Almost like you're using it to further your political stance. I mean, can't we just have like... one day to unite in our common sadness and think about the lives that were taken? Rather than immediately start thinking about/fighting about political issues? Just my opinion.
Almost impossible considering the frequency with which these events happen. The argument comes across as a sensible appeal, which is the position I think you are taking; however, it's clear now that the appeal is itself a political ploy to kick the can down the road. There's no engagement between incidents other than to have some scream '2nd Amendment' and shut down discussion.
