This was the second largest mass shooting in American history, after the Wounded Knee massacre. Talking about guns, talking about radical Islam - neither of those things can help the 50 people killed and the 53 injured ( numbers may rise, this is being written within 24 hours of the shooting ).
The left is talking about guns, the right is talking about Islam, and some of us just hold our gay loved ones a bit tighter and try to figure out how best to enable them to live their lives freely and without fear of these sorts of things happening. In the wake of the terrible tragedy on Saturday night in Orlando, Florida, there is a lot of opportunity to politicize the events.
