Sighing towards Gomorrah
There’s a particular type of response from Gun Enthusiasts* that you’ll run into each and every time there’s a mass shooting in this country (which means, you can see this response each and every day, if you look for it, since we now have mass shootings on a daily basis). This response is always offered in response to calls for weapons bans. Here’s a perfect example:
This is a very popular response, but I always find it odd that none of these Gun Enthusiasts* ever seem to consider that the person who committed whatever mass shooting it is that drew their response could have said or posted the exact same thing, right up until they actually started shooting.
* By “Gun Enthusiasts” I mean, “Gun Nuts”.
