Why is the left accused of exploiting tragedies, especially those that involve mass shootings?

Question

It doesn't make any logical sense. To quote some random guy from the Internets:

"Nobody who points to the inadequacy of our flood-control policies or mistakes by the Army Corps of Engineers is accused of "exploiting" the victims of a deluge.

Nobody who criticizes a botched response by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to a natural disaster is accused of "exploiting" the victims of a hurricane or a tornado.

Nobody who lays part of the blame for an accident on insufficient regulation of, say, the airlines or coal mining is accused of "exploiting" the accident's victims."

Except now that there has been yet another mass shooting In America, people accuse those that express the need for tougher gun control laws as exploiting the victims for their own political agenda, ideology or gain. Or for whatever reason.

People will argue that this is an isolated incident, this Batman shooting. But it's not, there have already been six mass shootings in America this year alone, but it seems that we need bigger and bigger shootings to wonder whether something is wrong.

100+ people are either killed or maimed in the USA every day by people using guns alone. The USA has 25% of the world's prisoners, and the USA has by far the loosest gun control laws of any industrialized nation. Mass shootings in places like Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan are rarity's.

Guns don't kill people but it sure makes it a whole lot easier.

The temp out part was 80 in part the car it might be one hundred ten - a hundred and twenty relying on vehicle color if it was in direct solar. So that you saved those canine do not ever 2nd wager your self..

Answer 3

I agree,the discussions about guns and violence are appropriate after such an incident. I question the motives of those who try to squelch the discussions. When a tragic event occurs,people need to talk about it and question why it happened. It is called freedom of speech,at least as important as the right to bear arms,whatever that is. If gun rights people don't like the discussions they don't have to listen,or they can throw their two cents in without demonizing the discussion.

Answer 4

Apparently some of our news media have already started accusing the TEA party and the republicans of influencing the shooter.

It happened during the Arizona shooting too. Its a shame that some of the people trusted to report the facts tend to make up a story to fit a political agenda.

Answer 5

Because there will be far more gun crimes and victims if the gun policies that the liberals want is implemented.



The bitter irony of gun prohibition is that laws intended to reduce violence could spark the bloodiest violence in our history. We must stop gun prohibition now, before it is too late.

Answer 6

everytime we have a tragedy, the left asks if we should stop mental patients from buying guns



and the NRA and the right complain that EVERYONE should have a gun..crazy or not

Answer 7

No other country promotes uncontrolled gun ownership that would create such mayhem as we saw in Colorado.

Answer 8

Liberalism is a mental disorder, therefore the shooter is a liberal.

Answer 9

Stay in Australia and you won't have to worry about it.
