2 days ago a student at virginia tech used automatic weapons to kill 32 people.
it’s a terrible, terrible tragedy, and utterly heartbreaking.
the victims were all innocent, and to be arbitrarily killed in such a violent way is tragic beyond words.
to add insult to tragedy the white house immediately politicized the event.
the white house response was to say that the president still believes in the 2nd amendment, the right of people to bear arms.
are you fucking kidding me??
32 people needlessly slaughtered and the white house’s response is to suck up to the nra?
now the white house is backtracking and saying that gun control debates should wait until after a period of mourning.
now they’re saying this?
the shooting had barely ended and the white house was already politicizing this, and in the most despicable way.
if you’re going to politicize a tragic and senseless massacre you might start by looking at the simple fact: guns kill people.
if the shooter had been armed with a stick or a baseball bat you’d be looking at 1 or 2 injured people in the infirmary.
instead there are 32 innocent victims, all because a state like virginia has no restrictions on the purchase of automatic weapons by people over the age of 18.
when will someone finally stand up to the nra and pass some sensible gun control legislation?
how in the world can anyone justify a private citizen needing to have access to automatic weapons and armor piercing bullets?
i’m terribly saddened by the deaths of 32 innocent people at virginia tech. and my sincere hope
is that politicians will develop the courage and will to pass gun control legislation so that future tragedies like this might be averted.
