I'm reposting this, NOT out of partisanship, but to call attention to stupidity (from any side) in the wake of this tragedy.
Quoting HRC on Facebook today:
"The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.
Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get."
Yeah, I'm pretty damn sure no silencer was going to muffle the sound of what is reported to be a fully automatic rifle with a theoretical firing speed of 700 rounds per minute.
I know Emmanuel Rahm's mantra of "every media tragedy is a [political] opportunity", but sometimes, just be a human f-ing being.
