I don't even support a 100% gun ban or anything, I just think this behavior is tasteless asf.

Edit: Get mad and tone police me all you want gunbros, I stand by this.

      But, again, do not take this response to mean that any of us did not mourn the children (or at least, as in my case, feel like absolute garbage that their capacity to mourn anything has been entirely depleted). The gut reaction is not "muh gunz". The gut reaction is "god damn America".

      Unfortunately, we have to instantly switch to stamping out reactionary politics. This is not a reaction to the godawful news, it is a defense against reaction and reactionaries.

        Exactly. Though I think mourning some people you have no connection to is some immaterial thoughts-and-prayers bullshit. The effective reaction to prevent gun violence from happening in your community is to be vigilant against the pigs cynically using this event to fundraise, which should be the real target of any critique of anyone's reaction to events like this.

        Anyone who assumes anything less of us here needs to lurk more. We're not fucking soulless here.
