Not one to let tragedy pass without taking advantage of it, The King went on a tirade about gun control.
Exclaims "What's Wrong With Us". i.e It's the publics fault these criminals go and shoot people. Of course The King doesn't include herself in this condemnation.
I'm going to assume that English isn't your primary language, but in fact, the word "Us", technically referred to as the "first-person plural", does, in fact, include the speaker as one of the referents.

Topic isn't about my grammar.
You completely missed the sarcasm.
(Hint: King Hillary isn't actually a king except in her own mind.)
If you think that Hillary's talking about background checks, you're smoking the wacky weed.
As usual, gun control is being bandied about without specifics by Hillary and the rest of the gun grabbers. And make no mistake, that's the goal.
And enlighten us...given that most murders (and crimes in general) are committed by criminals with unlicensed or illegally-acquired guns, just where are these "background checks" to take place? In city alleys where the gunrunners pull out a stool and computer (connected to a government database) stashed with the guns in his trunk? Maybe Hillary can answer that.

Give me a very large break.
Most MASS MURDERS are committed with legally acquired fire arms. As a gun owner I really think what we should do is:
1) End the War on Drugs. That's the source of most crime and murders.
2) Universal background check for gun purchases.
3) States should require that gun owners report any gun that is stolen in a robbery.
4) And if conservatives are so concerned about mass shootings being a "mental health problem" then start funding mental health screening programs and make treatment affordable beyond insurance.
A feel-good poll taken after a mass shooting, which asks an ambiguous question, is significant?
Sorry. More significant is, again, that no specifics are given, the intent is to undermine the 2nd Amendment, and that there are many more real people across this fruited plain who aren't going to let that happen.

That sounds like an excellent plan to me. However, most Democrats would like to see more of a Chicago or D.C. model, not the well-though out plan you just put forth.
At least she didn't blame the dead victims - like Ben Carson did.
Nonsense.
Carson makes good point. If you are going to get shot, then it's worth it to at least attempt to stop shooter. Better than just standing there. Of course just one person there with a CCW could have ended this Thug's short reign of terror in short order.
