    People are using the tragedy to make attacks on gun rights, why shouldn't gun rights activists make attacks on gun control? I'd personally like both of them to shut up until the people at least have time to bury their loved ones, but that'd be considerate. Can't have that. Still, that comment didn't even remotely qualify the NRA as the most despicable organization on the planet.

    Well, maybe not the most despicable organization on the planet...but that statement is pretty damn reprehensible.

    How is it different from anyone saying that if we had proper gun control they wouldn't be dead? Both sides are blaming the other for the tragedy.

    Although I should state I agree, it is reprehensible.

    I'm pretty sure there was a bit of hyperbole involved with that "most despicable organization" comment.

    In this case we need to simply enforce the laws in place, the father gave his son with felony charges a gun, the son then went to a gun range where they presumably didn't check to make sure the gun was actually his since it couldn't have been his. Had they checked this likely wouldn't have occurred as it would have been nipped in the bud.

    I've actually read that he bought his gun at a store.

    Mixed reports. I don't like that. It makes me uncomfortable. I don't like being uncomfortable. Going to my massage chair.

    Hehehe, I put NRA in the same sanity slot as some clergy in Saudi Arabia who fancy flogging.
    Fuck it, if the board of NRA dropped dead it would be a favor to the citizens of the US even though it would be at the expense of comedy for us Europeans but it is worth it.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    I can't be the only person that understands what Hyperbole is, can I?

    It's like when someone says "Worst. Day. Ever."...you don't take them literally.

    Hyperbole is a dramatic over exaggeration used to make a point. Similar to sarcasm in the sense that you aren't meant to take the statement literally. In this case, it was being used to draw attention to a completely repulsive statement made by the NRA.

    You talk that way yourself. Everyone does. Every time you have ever said "I'm starving" or "I'm dying" you were using hyperbole.

    African Americans kill more African Americans every year than the police or fringe white extremist ever have through the means of abortion. Yes I am pro choice, but if all black lives should matter even potential ones
