Politicizing Tragedy
In the wake of the tragedy at Virginia Tech yesterday, the two sides of the gun control debate are lining up to sling mud before anything is sorted out. Michael Daly of the New York Daily News had a column that touts more gun control in the wake of this. Another article in the Financial Times talks about how the NRA is lining up a defense of gun rights.
It is sick when either side tries to make political hay out of a horrible tragedy like this. Let the grieving grieve. We can sort out the policy later.

even worse is NBC showing the videotape of the shooter on the Nightly News. They are profiting from a tragedy.
It is sickening. Unfortunately the ones who profit most from tragedy are the media.
