People using this tragedy as another platform for their hate against Trump. This is going to continue to happen in the US as it's in their culture, the people have to do something about the gun laws because of regardless who has the top job they don't have enough power to stop it.
Although there is a need to show respect and empathy, the causes of gun violence does have an element of politics behind it so I can't see why you have to avoid politics when discussing tragedy? If you never talk about it then nothing changes and it continues. I can't remember what the changes were but can remember reading that the US government was happy to bring in potentially unpopular changes in immediate aftermath of New Orleans so don't feel that it's a united front in politics pausing to respect victims.Originally Posted by mazadona10
And Trump? Trump has gained influence by being seeing as being "honest" and not restricted by PC culture. He was initially happy to appear to be willing to reform gun laws in the US but this was changed by the NRA (which although tiny compared to the influence they have is only an extreme view of what many hold....even most democrats want access to guns on some level) who are most strongly supported by his core of support. Trump perhaps more than any other Republican will be seen as linked to the NRA because of a) his and their anti-pc image including language that is happy to inflame the situation b) politics had become so extreme with left and right ever more cautious to work with each other and c) there seems to be a drip effect ready to burst now when it comes to gun violence that eventually enough will be enough.
I can't help but feel that a tragedy needs to happen in every state before there is real change though.
