What I see as "sick" is the Dad exploiting his dead son to further his own anti-gun political agenda, knowing full well (assuming a moderate level of intelligence) that the laws he is pushing for would NOT have saved the kid!
Even Pelosi and Feinstein have mentioned in passing that the laws they wanted would not have saved a single life!
THAT, IMO, is SICK!

I am sorry, I truly am, for their loss but sometimes we need to look at the bigger picture. Not one of these gun control laws proposed since the movie theater shooting or Sandy Hook would have stopped a mass shooting from concurring - because that is not the goal, the goal is to CONTROL.
