This is a national crisis that needs to be addressed.

Please, please, do not dismiss this issue as this DUer did

This is real, and it needs to be addressed.

1. Tell that to the Hillary campaign. What she did was disgusting. nt

[AgingAmerican]

7. She is using them as political props

And so are you

[KMOD]

9. No. Hillary is addressing the issue,

you, and your candidate are dismissing the importance of it.

y'all make me sick.

[AgingAmerican]

13. Show me where Sanders dismissed it

Hillary, meanwhile, is using the issue as a political prop. And so are you.

[jfern]

20. Are you for real? This is pathetic.

[Prism]

2. Then stop using them as such

I hate, hate, hate guns.

But this is out of control disgusting.

[KMOD]

5. It's disgusting that you are trying to dismiss this issue

since your hero doesn't get it. That's disgusting.

[Prism]

10. I hated this line of thought before Sanders

You can search my posts.

11. They are to you and to the Hillary Clinton campaign, posting these OPs.

re-tweeting that disgusting tweet.

You are twisting it to serve your candidate's interests!
Quit doing this! It's not good for anyone!
It is a disgrace to the Dem party.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

The OP is clearly using this tragedy as a prop, deliberately posting it in GD-P. Disgusting.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Apr 6, 2016, 10:47 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm not understanding what the problem is here. Is ANY mention at all of Sandy Hook off-limits because it's considered a "prop" or a "politicization"? I don't think so. Besides, there are no TOS violations. 
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Sanders made assertions today that Hillary is "politicizing" Sandy Hook. The charge of politicization of Sandy Hook is now a Pimary issue. I see no problem with discussing this in GDP. It is certainly not a hide worthy offense.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT

17. It looks like to me Hillary is the one using them as "props" ,in your words, to go after Bernie

18. I agree that they are not a prop.

They should have been left alone from this whole mess to begin with.

Again, Hillary crossed a line this time and I am quite disappointed. She started it with that insensitive, petty and ridiculous tweet of hers.

I can not understand why the campaign would do such a thing.

I do not agree with the response given by the Bernie camp either, but in balance, there was no good way to respond to it any how.
No response, would have left her insult unchallenged, and it is hardly true any how. There are different ways to go about gun control, but the idea of latching on to a bad law, that would allow manufacturers and sellers to be litigated for the illegal use of legal arms by a buyer is just pointless. Both Hillary and Sanders do have a gun control platform, and doing it that way was dumb.

By posting that tweet from her campaign, it opened up a whole can of worms.

Like I said before, I could understand if this was from a supporter posting it, as supporters can be crazy, but for the campaign itself to malign a fellow democrat in this way is just insane.

21. Tell that to Clinton please.

She is the one attending fund-raisers by NRA lobbyists.
