I don't know if anyone else lives in my state (Connecticut) or lives close enough to know how a lot of people are here, but even before Newtown we had the strictest gun laws in the country. And after this happened, the pro-gun control argument became super emotionally charged. I know that guns (pictures, symbols, even mentionings) were even banned from a lot of schools, and most conservatives couldn't start a conversation about their favorite rifle without giving a speech to make sure everyone listening wouldn't be offended.
So yeah, biggest troll of our time.
>clearly utilizing a tragic event for political gain via holiday gesture that a good portion of the population is going to find offensive, no matter how you try to spin it
>some people wonder why other people think this is bad
>those same people who don't think this is bad would flip their shit if someone tried to make an event where the theme was "guns are bad" or something along those lines
I wonder sometimes
