To all of those who react to tragedy by advocating a political agenda...

I have some questions.

For those who post the crossed out "thoughts and prayers" and replace it with "policy and change", great what are the specific policies and changes that would have prevented this incident?

Why denigrate "thoughts and prayers"?

For those pastor friends who have posted this.

When did you surrender the power of Christ to change lives to the power of the state?

Are you really willing to take the chance that your political advocacy will affect your tax status? 

To those who are perpetrating the "18 school shootings" misinformation.

Are you aware that it is misleading and designed to inflame an emotional response?

Do you understand the inconsistency in surrounding virtually every government facility except schools with armed guards and security measures?

Do you understand that the fact that schools are "soft" targets full of victims that generate maximum emotional impact are part of the reason why there are so many school shootings?

It is beyond reprehensible how quickly and eagerly people jump to exploit these tragedies to further their agendas. This "18 school shootings" is no better than a straight up lie...absolutely heinous.

Further compounding the sinfulness of the exploitation is how the "solutions" sought by the gun control advocates contributes to future tragedies. And on it goes. Leave people more and more defenseless and exploit the certain deaths that come from it to increasingly victimize more people.

Yes, usually all that is offered is that we need “common sense” or “reasonable” gun control laws. But never, ever, any specific proposals which would have prevented the tragedy being exploited. I’ve specifically asked Dan numerous times for actual specific examples of these “common sense” measures, and gotten zero. You probably remember Feo and his inability to do provide specifics fairly recently.

The false narratives being reported just make it worse.

I’m open to specific reasonable proposals, but those are nonexistent. All we get is “Why does anyone need...”, which is simplistic, facile, and childish.

Whoops, maybe had the FBI followed up properly when warned about this guy, this tragedy could have really been avoided.

I love how the attorney general of Washington state, just blatantly lies about this issue on his official Twitter account.
