Do leftists get off on politcizing the deaths of innocents?

They seem herald this as some sort of "victory" for gun rights advocates when there is equal amount hatred on all sides of the spectrum towards this monster. It makes me sick to my stomach that they can parade this around and say it's the NRA's fault when this happened in one of the gun restrictive states(ranked third) in the country. I know not all leftists do this, some are actually civil, but definitely the uncivilized ones on here seem to be smiling with glee about this tragedy when we should be praying for the families. Is this equal to porn to some of the mentally deficient leftists on here?

Update:

No I mean leftists pure and simple.

Update 2:

typo: one of the most gun restrictive*

Update 3:

@Vegeta: I don't believe I'm politicizing it. I can tell the person is of the radical left by the way they respond to tragedies like this. If you want a political discussion about the issue of gun control, I'd be happy to engage, but when it comes to the deaths of children...really you're going to say this is some kind of ploy by gun advocates?

Update 4:

@Blue: I agree

    The issue has always been registration and license. The entire problem can be addressed with civility and rationality, but the wing-nuts have neither the manners nor the intelligence.

    i'm only waiting for bill or Hillary Clinton pop out with a reality about this planned burning of the Quoran' both actually a form of two idiots participated in burning the U. S. flag at the same time as attending college in England. i do not consider what the pastor is doing and that i do not consider absolutely everyone burning the yank flag. they have the constitutional properly to do this stuff no count number how stupid it would want to look to some thing else human beings. Is the burning of the Quorans probably to reason issues ? probably yet isn't the construction of the cultural midsection and Mosque a pair blocks away also going to reason issues? How about the day that the Muslims have chosen to open the cultural midsection? That date is 09/11/2011 the 10th anniversary of the WTC destruction. EDIT: precisely at the same time as do the liberals imagine that we'd want to continually supply up backing down? Do they imagine taking area in effective has worked? Hell if some thing this is getting worse. @pals to all there's a mag that would help human beings manage all of those Church burnings to boot as vehicles and folk being beheaded with the aid of the radial Muslims. The call of that mag is called "guns and Ammo"

    The minds of the vast majority of liberals are already made up. Don't try to confuse them with facts or logic. Leftist anti-gunners will ALWAYS point to the NRA as the scapegoat when something like this happens and will continue to scream "Gun control!"

    If they had the brains to read and weren't so lazy as to get all their "facts" force-fed to them by the lame-stream liberal media, they would know that the U.S. isn't the only country that has tragedies like this. How quickly they forget the Tianamen Square massacre in China, where over 1,000 people -- unarmed because China doesn't allow private citizens to own firearms -- were massacred by the government for no other reason than their government didn't like what they were doing. They would also know that between 1900 and 2000 over 56 MILLION PEOPLE in countries where private gun ownership was outlawed were exterminated by their governments. Finally, they'd know that the great socialist gun control experiment in Australia has been an abject failure -- after law-abiding citizens were ordered to turn in their guns, crime went up over 30% nationwide and the number of women reporting rape in Australia has gone from 1 in 8 to 1 in 3.

    Take guns away from private citizens and who still has them? Criminals, law enforcement, and Liberal Public Enemy #1 -- THE MILITARY. Maybe they'd change their tune if they staged one of their loud-mouthed *****-fests (which they call a "protest") and the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces marched in and opened fire...

    I certainly don't think their deaths should be used as divine shields by the gun lobby to prevent ANY discussion of gun control.

    I believe people have the right to defend themselves, but I also believe there are limits and that we could be doing far more to prevent the wrong people from getting their hands on them.

    "I know not all leftists do this, some are actually civil, but definitely the uncivilized ones on here seem to be smiling with glee about this tragedy"

    But are you not politicizing the very same issue? Could this perhaps make you a bit, hypocritical?

  • 8 years ago

    A bunch of leftists at the NRA I guess. Sorry if all of this tragedy got in the way of your civilized ignorance of the rampant gun violence caused by legal guns.

    Democrat says: "I think after a tragedy like this it is our responsibility to have a discussion about how we can prevent individuals like this from acquiring weapons to be able to commit these types of acts."

    Republican hears: "Hide your guns! I'm comin for them!"

    And the National Rifle Association will sell a lot more memberships in the next month and a lot more guns for 'self protection' will be sold this week. So who's political, eh?

  • Of course. According to democrat comrade Rahm Emanuel, they believe it's a shame to "let a good crisis go to waste"
