Now I know emotions are all running high, and we’re all shocked and scared by yet another senseless act of violence (or mental illness if white, act of terror if brown). However, now is not the time to start talking about things like “gun control” and “approval lists.” How about we schedule sometime on March 31st around 7:30am EST and we can all sit down for 15 minutes and discuss ways to prevent the next tragedy. However I cannot stress it enough that NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO POLITICIZE THIS.
Before we say the words “gun control,” can we think about the poor ammunition assembly line workers, who have to work mandatory overtime due to the demand, each time those words are said?
No, we have to pray first. Give me your thoughts. They’re needed before we make the monthly (weekly??? Daily???) sacrifice of children in this country.
It's telling that they even mention politicizing it. Like... why would something like that even need to be "political" at all, unless...?
