(20,709 posts)"extreme" and "draconian." This is not the opinion shared by most liberals. It is actually an opinion that basically only exists among American conservatives.
And, by the way, there are also people who think that hate crimes laws are "extreme" and "draconian". And they thing that racism is not really a big deal and we just need to make a few minor adjustments. That opinion is also not shared by most liberals.
And I'm sure these people would be just as upset as you are that people are "exploiting" this tragedy to call for some kind of major reevaluation of racism in our society. Because, you know, just business as usual, don't rock the boat just because a bunch of people were murdered. Stay the course.
Just replace "guns" with "racism" in your last few posts, and see how they read.
