'Daily News' provokes with cover on Calif. shooting: 'God isn't fixing this'

[progree]

Source: USA Today

The front cover of New York's Daily News for Thursday takes a strong stance against how some politicians are reacting to the San Bernardino shooting with calls for prayer instead of tighter gun control laws.

The headline says, "God Isn't Fixing This."

.......... House Speaker Paul Ryan and GOP presidential hopefuls Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham all responded with "prayers" for the victims of San Bernardino.

......... Meanwhile, Democratic presidential hopefuls, including Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, took a different tone and called for "action" to stop gun violence.

2. OMG!!!

WTF is This? Daily News? My whole life, this rag has been nothing but a Fox Spin off..

I’m simply amazed...

14. You must be young-

yeah it's a tabloid but it wasn't always so Fuxy.

[Reter]

27. I think he's confusing it with the Post

That has always been right-wing. The Daily News always was to the Left of it.

31. And, true to form, the New York Post *emphasizes* MUSLIM KILLERS

3. We can't pray away gun violence

Another mass shooting, we can't blame religion, terrorism or workplace violence.
This is another all too common occurrence of extreme violence exacerbated by the easy access to firearms and ammunition. If we can't regulate the actual firearms we need to go after the ammunition. Tax it, regulate it, require massive burdens of insurance and compliance at the federal state and local level. We need to make possessing ammunition costly and time consuming, we need to make it not worth the effort. If we regulate the bullets eventually we could control the guns, no bullets and the gun is worthless. We could make the possession of untaxed and unregistered bullets a felony carrying lengthy prison sentences, manufacturing ammunition even longer with life for repeat offenders. I know this sounds draconian but we need serious solutions.

20. massive burdens of insurance? OK. Let's start with police unions.

All misconduct settlements paid out from police union coffers instead of taxpayers.

[Abouttime]

23. I totally agree

But my thoughts about ammunition are one way to regulate firearms without gun confiscation. We need to make ammunition so costly and difficult to obtain and possess that the mere act of firing a gun becomes close to impossible.

4. Good, but all those repukes on the cover

They must realize that it's yet another loser for the GOP if they don't moderate.

[LiberalElite]

15. They're so far down the rabbit hole

they need some moderates to show them how to moderate. Even their moderates are right wing.

[flamingdem]

28. You're right about that

Arg. Why are we being subjected to this insanity. The Founding Fathers should have protected us from wingnuts.

12. Watch Kurosawa's Ran...

There is a beautiful scene at the end of the movie; where the court jester cries out and says, 'the gods are laughing at us.' The sole remaining captain grabs him and yells at him, 'You fool, the gods are crying for us.'

18. Liberals Judge God Incompetent After San Bernardino Shooting

Another so sad headline

I never thought I would see a day when anyone was harangued for offering prayer for the victims of a tragedy. ...

How arrogant. In their rebuke of Republicans’ call to prayer they actually judge God incompetent. ... The problem is not with guns. The problem is with sinful humanity. God is the only One who can fix a sinful human heart....

25. Prayer is the next best thing to doing nothing.

[randys1]

26. Neither prayers or even mandatory insurance on individual gun owners stops this

Now, making the gun MANUFACTURERS pay for the wrongful deaths.

Now you are on to something

[Reter]

30. Here's the disgusting NY Post cover:

[IrishEyes]

33. There is definitely a difference in the two papers.

I read the Daily News but I can't read the Post. It is too conservative.

[AngryOldDem]

34. About damn time somebody said it.

Sick and tired of people -- especially those who are in positions of power -- offering prayers instead of constructive action.

[progree]

35. Amen. (oops)
