The inevitable fallout of today's tragedy with be pathetically politicized in the poorest of taste. Gun control with no doubt be a strong feature in tonight's "punditry". The right will blame it on the media and as an example of the "Sodom-like" state of our culture**(*). The left with neutered gun control bills they have been "pushing for years". Both will of course be wrong.
I have long been in favor of our Second Amendment rights and believe that 99.9% of gun owners are not psychopaths, but it's not a black and white issue; nor is it the time to dissect such. What really needs to happen is a serious discussion about what the fuck is going on in this country. We're up to two mass shootings in a week, within days of each other. Something is very wrong here.
THIS is the prelude to the end of the world.

** As I'm writing this Fox News has already brought up the crisis of faith in society and encourage everyone to pray for the victims.
