    All kids are victimized but most conservatives don’t care until it’s their kid specifically. Kind of like most political issues that people who have empathy care about.

        No they don’t. They immediately jump to “they must have deserved it.”

        Let me simplify this for you:

        So conservatives don’t care if the children of liberal parents are victims?

        That right there is my point. What are the deaths of a few children so long as there are zero restrictions placed on gun ownership? They won’t care until it affects them in a very personal way. The people with the capacity to change things are presently choosing not to. One has to wonder what would finally cause them to do something.

        And I’m not even asking for anything crazy like the assault weapons ban that has been floated recently. We can’t even get the most reasonable legislation passed.

        Our answer to “more gunmen” cannot be “more guns”. Or, rather, it can, but take a look around. How’s that working out for us?

        They only offer ‘thoughts and prayers’. It certainly seems that cons don’t actually care about any children.
