When you need to begin your statement with, "Every time there's a shooting..."

1. I'd wager that part does not register with him. The first part was only used as a way to segue

into what he really cared about - 1. attacking the Democratic Party by claiming 2. they want to take your guns.

Gristle for republican voters.

2. I didn't listen to this

Did he mention thoughts and prayers?

His continued political career is proof that mine didn't work.

4. I did.

No, he didn't mention thoughts and prayers, though that phrase definitely is in the right's playbook.

His "theater" is to say that Democrats do theater, which proves that he knows as little about Democrats and projection as he cares for mass shooting victims.

No, you didn't miss anything.

6. Thanks

I'm just not in the mood for his crap. My brother was in that Boulder grocery shortly before the shootings began.

7. ...

Whoa. So sorry he cut it that close. Hope you're both relieved that he dodged that bloodbath. Ugh. The CO world seems a lot darker now.

3. "Every time there's a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater ... Democrats propose taking away guns

And Republicans do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

[TNNurse]

5. When they say "Every time there is a shooting,..."

I wonder why someone had not shot the person who said that.

8. Every time I see or hear him I want to punch his smug face

And I am not a violent person but he makes me want to be violent.

9. Most mass shooters are first time offenders

there just isn't a lot of repeat mass shooters out there. So running a background check for a history of mass shootings or violent crimes or even stepping up the punishments does jack shit to stop mass shootings.

But GOP love kabuki theater to lock up more minorities for various reasons to give a false sense of security to the types of people who fit the profile of most mass shooters and don't want to be profiled as such.

How do you know if someone is going to commit a mass shooting? Cancun Cruz's tough talk on violent crime does nothing about the Boulder or Atlanta style mass shootings.

10. An Idiot

This is one man? I can't stand!!!

[Ohioboy]

11. A certain type of gun is used repeatedly in these mass shootings

That's not all guns. Why are people like Ted Cruz so stupid?

12. "It makes it worse."

Really? "It makes it worse.? How much worse could it get?

13. When you need to begin your statement with, "Every time there's a shooting..."

...that should give you a clue that things are majorly fucked up.
