A call to "not politicize the tragedy" is itself a deeply political statement, offering a defense of the status quo while trying to look above the fray.

Problems like this demand political solutions. Calls to "not politicize" something that is inherently political are cowardly.

I would strongly suggest not bothering with posters such as the one above you who think that Muslims are a greater threat to Americans than the tens of thousands of people killed every year due to domestic gun violence.

I think we can all agree that the most important takeaway from American political discourse is that the rights of white men (and let's be real, it is mostly white men who buy guns) to have their dangerous toys trump the rights of people to not have to worry about being shot by some lunatic whenever they go out in public.
