I'm gonna say this now, and it's important, because every time something like this happens, the same things are said and it gets old. Please, both sides of the gun-control debate: there are 27 people dead. No one gives a shit right now about your politics. Give it 3 fucking days before you start saying what caused or would have prevented this tragedy. 3 days, that's it, then we can duke out politics. For now, let people grieve, and shut the fuck up.

... Sorry but I think this is kind of silly.
Who here needs to grieve? Yeah it sucks, and it's sad. But I don't think we have anyone here who has a personal connection to this, and if we do I'm sorry for your loss, but I don't think hanging out on an internet forum is the best approach to handling this.

If people wanna talk about this, they're gonna. We're pretty much a observational party in this and I don't think anyone here needs three days to grieve. Furthermore, I don't think 3 days is exactly an appropraite time to get over the loss of a child/brother/sister/nephew/neice/etc, 3 weeks yeah sure, 3 months sounds more reasonable, and 3 years seems about right. But 3 days isn't anything.

Now if you're saying we should wait three days to get facts straight, I can agree with you. Everything we have now is loose and we don't know hardly anything other than a guy (or possibly two) killed and injured almost 30 people. 3 days does seem a bit better to gather more facts and go all Captain Hindsight, and figure out prevention steps. What you currently said just feels like backseat-moderating.

I really don't have opinions on this one way or another, it really sucks yeah, and I feel sorry for the people involved, but I think if people have guns they'll shoot each other, and if people don't they'll find another method at hurting each other.

And if you had any kind of reading comprehension, you'd see that I was talking specifically about people going nuts and screaming about gun control and the like, which no one wants. Shut up.

I'm sorry, I didn't think paart of the grieving process included police investigation.

I'm aware you meant gun control debates; there's not much else to discuss with shootings other than gun control. I'm saying I don't think you telling them to shut it is going to make a difference. Now if you'd said "Imm gonna wait for the facts before talking about this" it'd have a different effect and wouldn't come across as more backseat-moderating. I'm criticizing your approach more than what you said.
Thought do still think you worded it a bit weird for what you meant. But maybe that's just me

It's pretty clear to anyone not retarded that I was talking about the extreme people who like to do the "told you so!" or get riled up and offensive in these events. Just shut up, dude.

I know what you were you were talking about people that go " see, guns just cause problems" or people who go "more guns and the shooter couldn't have killed as many, in fact I'm pretty sure I have an idea what forumers you meant. I'm saying how you worded it, and how you're coming across sucked, and sitting there telling me to shut up and quit hijacking shit just comes across the same way.
