GUNS = FREEEEEDUMB!!! MORE GUNS = MORE FREEEEDUMB!!!

[VardyCodarexyz]

Biblo said the three are all adults; two were shot in the face and one in the abdomen. Was this another movie premier gone horribly wrong?

[awagsFare]

Anyone who wears a funny hat is really dumb anyway, no real loss here.

[Enalsebeerkawl]

Would it be cool with everyone if we let the bodies get cold before trying to score political points off of them?

[GenrieAB]

How long do we need to wait?

A day? A week?

Never?

[aaafluochugh]

There are posters on this site that advocate policies that lead directly to this sort of **** happening with regularity. In fact, at least one of these posters (ahem) argues that this is just a statistical anomaly that we needn't worry ourselves with.

Who exactly is the uncaring party?

[Frierlovene]

I suspect "domestic terrorism" will turn out to be a white guy that didn't like ragheads.

This is another US mass shooting.

[Nadin Maison]

*whoosh*

THIS

[kiosokkn]

What is the appropriate length of time then?

That's dependent on the victims' and assailants' perceived nationalities.

[Swidemaiskikemu]

What is the appropriate length of time then? The measure given has already passed but its apparently not enough...

How long do you want to infringe on my free speech?

No one is saying you can't post...only that you are tasteless if you do.

[HexcewlyRette]

You still haven't answered the question btw.

At what point is it not "tasteless"?

The bodies are cold now so apparently we need a longer measure. What is it?

While being a partisan douche is objectionable, if people aren't going to discuss the merits of gun control now when are they going to? Never?

[attractiveweb]

Did I miss another recent mass shooting?

Why limit this to the last two weeks?

[nizcreare]

...and to the best of my knowledge no relatives or friends of the victims are posting here.

I was about to make this point. I'd say a suitable waiting period should last at least long enough for us to be reasonably certain that no member of Apolyton is involved in any way.

That could take months. We have many infrequent posters.

edit - We've also had posters in war zones. Some topics would be virtually of limits.

[mr.memo]

What merits? Liberals lost the gun control argument a decade ago. It doesn't work.

Asher obviously has a different opinions. But I guess he should just keep his mouth shut whenever people get killed because discussing the causes of their deaths would be so disrespectful.

[Xfxhbcxp]

Thanks Reg.

What can we talk about next?

[AsmViktor]

No, Asher should keep his mouth shut until he learns basic terminology.

[baronaaba]

It needn't be so... gleeful is the wrong word. Smug? I don't know.

There's no single word for "appearing to not actually give more than a fraction of a **** for the actual victims, but still happy to use their deaths as fodder for an interminable political pissing-match that never goes anywhere, without ever knowing or caring what said victims believed in, lived for or wished for themselves." At least, not in English. Probably German has a word, but it'll be more than twenty syllables.
