don't get it. And the point is obviously intentionally missed.

Politicians plan political events for political reasons. He could have planned this on Sunday afternoon. He could have planned it the prior weekend, or the following weekend. But a Congressional Representative, with a staff of gofers to protect him from commiting a political faux pas decided to host an event on a day that's sure to insult grieving parents.

He's making a statement to some reprehensible gun-addicts. Are you one of them?

Look, I like guns. I own several and practice my training in gun-safety assiduously. All the same, I mourn dead kids and wouldn't cause more grief to those parents for any reason. Especially not to secure the votes of some insensitive, self-absorbed clots.
