Expect it to become political the way these things always are.

I never understood this argument. There's a point in maintaining some common decency by giving those involved or directly affected by these things time to mourn and respect their feelings, but why should this not get political? Bad stuff is bad. It happens, but we don't want it to happen again. So we try and learn from it and take steps to prevent a repeat in the future. If a plane crashes, we find out why and change aviation rules if necessary. If a bridge collapses, we investigate how and change construction guidelines. If a healthcare system fails thousands and kills many of them, we determine the cause and alter policy. This is no different. It gets political because it by all means should. And maybe the conclusion ends up being that it was a freak incident that could in no way have been prevented so that no rules should be changed. But that discussion should still be had. Policies are shaped by and based on events. This is just how it is.

It's true, but due to the political wrangling it won't get fixed, the Republican are still not going to do anything, and when a democratic leader decide to do something, people will forget. We will see arguments today for better regulation or better mental health spending to be used in the future as attack ads when people forget about this event. To show these very people as anti-second amendment.

Now's the time to buy guns and arm yourself before tyranny takes over.
