1. Slacktivism

The people sparing a thought or mumbling a paryer are helping themselves feel better about doing nothing to stop the problem.

2. praying for dead victims is a passive aggressive religious statement

They're dead already. What is there to pray for?
So what they're really doing is using someone's dead child to push the idea of "going to heaven".
Disgusting people.

3. IMO, they want to use school shootings as a way to drive christian school mandates.

Using the argument of course, that this wouldn't be happening if people were raised in their version of christianity, ideology and education.
