That wasn’t your original argument. Your argument is that Mo Brooks is justified in politicizing the shooting of another Republican Congressman for fundraising purposes by declaring his support for gun rights (and by doing so, he was supporting the right of the shooter to have gun — a man who, considering his violent history, probably should have legally had one, but he did). And why is he justified in politicizing this tragedy? Why, because President Obama had the NERVE to decry gun violence when it occurred.

You don’t see the difference. Too bad you never will.
