I Have A Money Saving Idea For The MSM In Regards To Mass Shootings

[SoCalDavidS]

Instead of paying all of these pundits and analysts to come on to discuss the latest Shooting Du Jour, why not just roll tape from any number of post-mass shooting discussions over the last months or years?

Seriously. The news coverage and commentary is IDENTICAL every single time. Only the name of the perpetrator and the names of the victims change from incident to incident.

At this point, I'm almost wishing for one of these analysts to be honest and when asked what should be done, and whether this mass shooting will result in a change, to respond....."Why does it matter? Nothing is going to happen Don. This shooting will fade away in a few days, and the victims will be forgotten. It won't be the last time, there will be MANY, MANY more to come. It's what America has been, what it is, and what it shall be henceforth."

We like our guns, we like to watch as people are murdered week after week after week, and pretending that a soon to be forgotten case like this one will make a difference, is Farcical. The life of the officer, and the lives of the 9 other victims, are meaningless. Some thoughts and some prayers, to show that their lives mattered, and then it's a load off, so we can comfortably move on. Except for those HUNDREDS who knew and loved the victims, or the ones who bore witness to the shooting itself. They will never be able to truly Move On.

2. The official response is always to be bewildered, unable to comprehend how this can

possibly happen.

And people think I'm wrong to want to have all guns confiscated.

I just want to see all the gun apologists come out and say Sure, it's okay that ten people died today, just so long as I can keep MY gun.

Because every person who justifies the current gun situation is, in my opinion, justifying every one of these things.

3. Gun Confiscation?

We can't even get fucking background checks.

I agree with you, but don't expect this incident to be any different than all of the thousands that preceded it.

If we sat by while 21 elementary school kids were slaughtered, we'll sit by on this with no problem.

4. You are right. Even having a Congressman shot doesn't matter.

What I really wish would happen, to bring the point home that something drastic needs to be done, would probably get me banned from this site. I will just say that it would need to be something sufficiently terrible to finally bring it home to all the gun apologists. Anyone reading this gets to use their own imagination as to what that could be.
