It wasn't a real gun

[branford]

20. Theoretically true, but

a ubiquitous complaint after shootings is that gun rights supporters don't care about the victims, or even that they're little more than murderers themselves. It's patently untrue, inexcusable and tiresome. Whether killed by a gun, knife, bomb, hands, or anything else, the victim is just as dead. The usual double standard hypocrisy concerning gun crime victims compared to all victims of violent crime is certainly political and worthy of note.

I hope when such allegations against gun rights supporters arise after the next shooting, you'll post again about how political disagreements don't imply apathy towards crime victims.
