There's plenty of time and opportunity to attack the other side for what happened to these children. If you're doing it before they are laid to rest I'll call that what it is -- some ****ing insensitive bullshit!
Suggesting stupid, ineffective, agenda driven policy that has nothing to do with the tragedy is always wrong.

No, I did not. Did you?Did you check with the parents on this?
Because if I were in their shoes, I'd be pretty pissed off and thankful that some leader is reflecting my own frustration and anger.
Or to just put it off and do nothing...Yes. Knee-jerk reaction to serious situation is usually a bad idea ("inappropriate")
There is a natural human instinct to react hastily to a threat or danger. In the jungle, this is essential to survival.
However in Law, we must take a deep breath and use critical thinking to determine the best course of action on important matters.
What do you think would happen if 19 children were murdered in a city where the police had been defunded?There's plenty of time and opportunity to attack the other side for what happened to these children.

The left would still be blaming the right for it.What do you think would happen if 19 children were murdered in a city where the police had been defunded?
When the country isn't willing to fund the needed educational aspects of schools, this program is not only ridiculous...it wouldn't work. There are approximately 60 outside entrances to the school I'm most familiar with.Fortifying schools is a must.
F*ck that. Let's just do something, anything. That would indicate our federal govt sees this as a problem.Then have that conversation. Is there a specific bill under consideration that would have stopped this incident? If there is then let’s start with that and build from it.
But time and time again the people that say don't act hastily block any action at all.Yes. Knee-jerk reaction to serious situation is usually a bad idea ("inappropriate")

You know as well as I know that if 19 children were murdered because a police department had been defunded to the point that it could not respond, the right would be blaming Democrats for it and they would be right to do so.The left would still be blaming the right for it.
European schools aren't fortified and this rarely happens there.Fortifying schools is a must.
the anti gun left wants to bash the NRA by pretending that crazed killers somehow are the fault of the NRA rather than society. It is because the NRA supports candidates who don't generally support the socialist collectivist bullshit that almost every anti gun poster buys intoI also voted no. When exactly is a good time? We have been talking about this since Sandy Hook in 2012
The GOP has put the NRA above the lives of our children
Texas is still waiting on an improved grid that can make it through a winter or a summerSuggesting stupid, ineffective, agenda driven policy that has nothing to do with the tragedy is always wrong.
do you think someone intending to commit mass murder will participate in a gun buyback unless it is to get rid of a gun that has bodies on it?On the more moderate side:
Fortifying schools with bulletproof windows and metal detectors.
All the way to gun buybacks
even worse is waiting for a tragedy so it can be used for a political weaponSuggesting stupid, ineffective, agenda driven policy that has nothing to do with the tragedy is always wrong.
No only you know/believe the following.You know as well as I know
Response times have very little to do with funding. Even if you only had one LEO in your town it's unreasonable to expect giving him more funding would increase his time. Only Batman has a Batmobile.that if 19 children were murdered because a police department had been defunded to the point that it could not respond, the right would be blaming Democrats for it and they would be right to do so.
When are democrats going to stop insisting on it being their way or the highway?Similarly, when we have mass shooting after mass shooting and Republicans have been unwilling to do anything regarding background checks, magazine sizes, red flag laws and so on. When in fact, they have weakened gun laws at every opportunity, it is right to call them out on it.
The real question is, when our their voters going to pressure them to come to the table with some solutions?
We shouldn't worry about weather proofing cities. Our focus should be on banning fossil fuels. Gotta get ahead of the weather.Well..?
My thoughts are no. Absolutely not.
Should we wait 6-8 weeks after hurricanes to think about weather proofing cities?
No.

Its 22 years post Columbine. We are still waiting.I also voted no. When exactly is a good time? We have been talking about this since Sandy Hook in 2012

Complain to your congressman or senators. Be sure to vote. Democracy is great!Right? Since when should democracy and doing what most voters want carry any weight?
"You all"?But time and time again the people that say don't act hastily block any action at all.
How many years ago was Columbine? Sandy Hook? San Bernadineo? El paso?
Seems you all never want to act.
. . . I think calmly searching for solutions in times of crisis is actually the most emotionally mature thing to do.
Democracy would better if we got all the big time dark money out of it.Complain to your congressman or senators. Be sure to vote. Democracy is great!
