(3,502 posts)The last thing that these families need is to feel like pawns in a political battle. And you know how ugly the pro-gun side is going to be about it when the argument starts. No one involved in this tragedy needs that right now.
There will be time to discuss it, but I'm not hopeful. If there are enough people on DU of all places who like guns enough to warrant the Gungeon, what hope is there to get enough support from the general populations to improve gun laws? I mean, I'm for it. This crime is horrific and there is no way so many children would have died if not for the availablity of guns. Right now I've got zero sympathy for anyone who wants them legal and available. But it seems like that battle was lost long ago. This kind of thing is the result of that loss.
