Our precious "lawmakers" have to stop pandering to the right-wing lunatic fringe and start acting. Obviously, there is no one step that will solve the problem but that is no excuse to sit around with our thumbs up our asses while the body count rises.
I didn't do that...
Min, please don't tell me you're going into Brian-style histrionics and straw men.

Doesn't California already have strict gun laws anyway? Just asking, I could be wrong.

To be honest, I see nothing wrong with laughing at rednecks getting blown up by police.

I don't have strong feelings about guns/gun laws either way, but I do find it petty and almost insensitive to immediately start talking for/against guns every time people get killed.

That's quite hateful of you. A joke is a joke. You can blather about whether or a not a joke is politically incorrect or not. It's still a joke and it's still funny

I disagree CL, I liken this sentiment to demanding that tampon use can only be discussed when a woman isn't menstruating.
