But that doesn’t stop the venomous Michelle Malkin from starting a campaign against firearm bans.
Families are just now finding out that they have lost a loved one in this tragedy. The mourning process has not even started yet, but that doesn’t stop the right from trying to find a way to politicize something so horrible.
There are arguments that can be made on the right and left over today’s tragedy, but can we please give it at least a day before we start politicizing it? Anyone that jumps on these situations to make a point appear to be the ones who love such situations. It is sick. Stop and think about what happened today and air your arguments tomorrow. The victims deserve this little bit of compassion from their country men (and women).
UPDATE:
Within a couple of hours of this news, the White House coudln’t resist the need to politicize it:
“He was horrified and his immediate reaction was one of deep concern for the families of the victims, the victims themselves, the students, the professors and all the people of Virginia who have dealt with this shocking incident,” White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said. “His thoughts and prayers are with them.”
“The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed,” Perino said, noting that Bush and Education Secretary Margaret Spellings held a conference on school gun violence last October. “Certainly, bringing a gun into a school domitory and shooting … is against the law and something someone should be held accountable for,” Perino said.
And now we got CNN playing audio of the gun shooting. I am sure the family and students really wants to hear that right now.
