Let me start by saying I do respect your views and your passion, I always have and always will.
However the post I quoted (and yes there was more and I agree with that portion), is plain and simple emotional bullshit.
Just as the side that says "This proves we need gun control" is plain and simple emotional bullshit.
To state the above

If we had gun control, those 32 would still be alive.

It's fucking bullshit. The kid wanted to kill and would have found ways to no matter what.
To use this and play on people's emotions to further your own political gain is wrong, especially this soon afterward.
There are better arguments and ways to prove points without having to reduce your arguments to such tasteless statements that do not take into account the feelings of those that have lost loved ones.
We are talking about a fucking tragedy in a painful time and both sides want to politicize it and make brownie points. When there is no need to, when there is no justification in doing so, and when people just need to digest and accept and mourn over the losses.
I am truly saddened and believe this shows how torn our nation has become when such an event is not mourned for what happened but is politicized and emotions preyed upon to further one's views.
