Yes, I will politicize it. Because one party is stopping us from making reasonable gun policies, and it's killing innocent people. The guns are the problem, and the blood is on the GOP's hands.
I guess some forget they were "politicizing" the Afghanistan withdrawal before the bodies were cold there. Such hypocrisy.

How long exactly am I required to wait before talking about our shitty gun politics? The bodies from the last horrific shooting in Buffalo are barely cold. If you wait the GOP-expected amount of time, it just rolls over to the next mass shooting.

It's bullshit laws like this that make it easy for these kinds of mass shootings to take place. The shooter was an 18-year-old boy.

You are blaming this law for causing it? This law made him go to a gun free zone and shoot up a bunch of kids and a teacher? I'm no big fan of Abbott, but this wasn't caused by a handgun law, nor was it done in the name of Abbott, that we know of. You might want to chill on this for a bit, and let the details come out.

And yet no changes to gun laws. It doesn't matter how many children are killed in this country. We're root tootin' Americans, dammit!

Maybe because it was directly the responsibility and result of this idiot administration. It's not hypocrisy. You know exactly who was doing it.

They would rather have dead kids than risk their Russian money funneled through the NRA.

GOP: Banning or reducing access to guns won't work! People will just get them anyway.

Also GOP: Let's ban and reduce access to abortions!

I think this is right, ultimately. Republicans will never be part of any solution to this or other important issues. They must be defeated and fought by any non-violent means until they and their policies and ideas can be ignored and overcome.

There are plenty of democrats that don't support a well-regulated populace when it comes to guns.

Two armed cops were there at the school. But the shooter got past them, partly due to wearing body armor.
