Welp. You know the drill boys.
Nothing we can do about gun violence.
Thoughts and prayers.
Safer Doors.
Etc.
- Not just safer doors, we need outdoor doors. Doors on building roofs. In courtyards. In amphitheaters. Doors everywhere!
- You've confused the mass shooting of school children, with the assassination of a Trump ally and mega right-wing pundit.
  The political ramifications and blowback couldn't be more dissimilar.
  Just wait and see how much "can be done" about gun violence. Mind you it will be nothing about actual guns or gun violence, but lot of right-wing political levers are already moving to take full advantage of his death.
  
  Woosh maybe? They were sarcastically repeating the talking points made by the people who argue against gun control... which included Kirk himself.
Looks like all that evil he put into the world finally paid off.
Sic semper douchbag.
The republican traitor swine must be held to account.
