In a time of national tragedy, we used to pull together. After the Oklahoma City Bombing, the Black Helicopter anti-government conspiracy nuts had the decency to quiet down and we collectively shunned the violent rhetoric that led up to the terrorist attack. After 9/11, we rallied behind our president, even those that had deep reservations about him. Now, after the Boston Marathon Bombing, we should be united in our opposition to the fear and hate that drives such an action, right?
Nah.
Before the smoke had even cleared, gun massacre advocates took to Facebook to declare their love of guns and how any attempts to regulate them is treasonous. Oh, yeah, some people got killed and I feel bad BUT DON’T YOU TAKE MY GUNS! I went through the first 50 Senators’ Facebook pages to see the first batch of responses to the bombing. Most hadn’t commented yet but some did. Several of those pages had reader comments that were of shared grief and concern. But then there were the other pages. Those were filled with all kinds of rage and hate. The gun nuts were less than concerned about the dead and injured and more with making sure no one could touch their precious guns. Unsurprisingly, the majority of that anger showed up on Republican pages.
let's stop and look at this, first who would they shoot, i heard some guy ran and was tackled nothing else would he have bitten the dust? look at the picture, those armed on the street could start firing at everyone not of their culture, then others hearing the shots and are strapped pull and start a circular firing squad, yup great time to have a gun, if you are in the rubber room and all you can shoot is water.
