I assume that means you agree with him that children's lives are less important than imagined rights to play with weapons.

I love it when gun nuts accidentally reveal their shallowness and evil and then whine about "moral high ground" to deflect attention. Kind of like toddlers when they don't get their way.
No one is arguing that someone has a right to kill another person. Your confusing yourself again.

He doesn't mince words, does he? Should we expect an apology on Twitter after the backlash that's certain to come?

I have a hard time getting too worked up at what this clown said. His words are a reflection of our government, and ultimately, us. I'm not the only person who has recognized the script of these shooting rampages.

step 1. rampage, guns, dead people
2. media circus
3. angry reactions from families of the victims
4. gun-nut backlash
5. some time passes, nothing changes, more time passes
6. go to step 1

Americans have decided that fighting gun violence isn't worth it. Now, it could be partly because these rampages are ultra-isolated. The probability of any single person being directly affected in miniscule. Whatever the reason, nothing will change.

The only question is, when and where will the next one be? It would be nice to know, because we and our government will do absolutely nothing to prevent it.

Ultra-isolated? There is a mass shooting (more than 4) in the US every two weeks.
That's right....every two weeks.

If a mass shooting is more than 4 as you say, this one does not count as a mass shooting. Where do you get your figures on this?

Not sure what you're getting at. I'm talking about random mass-shootings. The probability of being affected is extremely low; these events are statistically rare.

If you believe that, then bad timing and bad form are the least of your concerns. You just don't give a rat's a$$ about humanity, and there's no point in trying to hide it.

Trained killer, indeed.
Why do cities with the strongest gun control have the most gun violence?
