Though I happen to agree with Mr. Nugent, the fact of the matter is that neither side should be using these extremely rare and heinous (and thus, laden with way too much emotional baggage to be an unbiased basis upon which to craft policy) instances of mass murder to further their particular political position. I find it unconscionable that everyone from gun control advocates to second amendment advocates to anti-atheist idiots (see Dinesh D'Souza) seized upon our school's tragedy as a way to make "political hay", as Nugent says. And while I think Ted is more "right" than the gun controllers on this particular issue, it doesn't make him any better for using the tragedy as a "told you so" springboard. The fact is, bad stuff happens. And when bad stuff happens, people unfortunately use it to confirm their prior assertions.
