How Many Dead Americans Will Make Liberals Care?

I have to start by saying I hate it when tragedies are politicized, no matter who does it. With that being said, the two parties do use horrible events differently. Republicans use them to highlight issues of importance; Democrats use them to advance agenda items they’d been wanting to push for years, even when they admit their solutions would not have prevented the tragedy they’re exploiting. It may not seem like much, but it is, and it is an important difference.
After every mass shooting, for example, Democrats reach in their desk drawers and pull out their standard gun control wish list. Buzzwords like “background checks,†“gun show loopholes,†and all the words we’ve come to hear far too often hit the cable news airwaves along with the inevitable “we must do somethings†that accompany them.
Yet after each of these horrible events this ballet plays out with the ultimate reality that none of these proposed “solutions†would have prevented what they are allegedly in reaction to admitted by its advocates.
