After the shooting happened, rather than calling for changes that could help prevent or lessen future tragedies, or at the very least saying his thoughts and prayers are with the victims' families and/or that he hopes the shooter rots in Hell, he's tweeting about the media for the bajillionth time. I think that a national tragedy takes precedence over media coverage, regardless of how unfair said media coverage is.

Not the President's job to respond to every local crime. What categories of crimes do you demand Presidential recognition of?

It's more than just a local crime, it's a national tragedy, and a terrorist attack. Those should take precedence over complaining about the media.

Define national tragedy. Define terrorist attack. List all Presidential priorities in the order you personally need them completed. What exact number of people dead merits Presidential attention? Where were you last weekend when more were murdered by gang violence , which the President has ?

Did you ever think that the perpetrators just want the attention? That Presidential validation of their act would be a victory?

"Calling for changes" - this presupposes something is wrong that the President personally needs to fix. Is the investigation complete? Do you know something the authorities do not? Maybe there is something systemic, or maybe it just seems that way and any (((solution))) will be antithetical to our rights and values, pushed on an agenda devoid of fact and poisoned with emotion. Road to hell and all that...

You know what's a national tragedy? Decline of Western Civilization. Rapid erosion of foundational rights and responsibilities. Browning of the citizenry. The emasculation of the male. The quantity of uninformed, irrational, unsound, feel-good dreck that passes for our public discourse, like your original post.

Yeah man. He should use any pretext to take our weapons. What a great thought. /s

I'm not saying weapons should be taken. I'm saying acts of terrorism should at least be addressed.

How in the fuck is this a terrorist act? Some loser made a bet and lost so he went violent. I get the feeling you believe muslim bombing are not motivated by religion.

I agree, a tradegy does take precedence. I think we have had so many this pas year it seems like people(trump included) are becoming numb too them. Which is fucking bullshit but it seems like its becoming reality.

And no matter what he said, it'd be criticized and a totally different question would be called out instead of this one. He can't win. The resistance is the resistance.

Two people died, three counting the perp ... where's the outrage of Obama ignoring that many folks being killed in Chicago or Detroit on a Friday night? There was none ... and no law can fix it. How many laws did the guy break, another won't be any more of an impediment. It's a societal issue, not one that someone's words or some legislative action can fix. Nope ... pass a new law ... the next day they'll be calling for another new law that will fix it. Incrementalism for what they really want, a society completely dependent on a government that can say or do anything they please with zero descent.

I agree. I read somewhere he had a history of mental illness and had at one point been admitted to a mental health facility. Isn’t there already a law that prevent loony tunes from getting guns? I know in Virginia there is because that was the whole scandal with the VA tech shooting.

Yes there is, and I've been wondering how he was permitted to buy two pistols. That makes no sense, unless they were considered a juvenile record that was expunged when he reached adulthood. We need much more info on that one.
