That’s what this is all about, not you. > > The NRA is slinking away because it has no defence other than, “Yabut…freedom”, kind of darkly ironic after the freedom of 20 kids was blown away by the product it promotes. Apparently reading comprehension goes out the window, because the first line above was in response to something you quoted from me where I very clearly said the world didn’t care about me either. To your first point; 1\> First world problems. I’m sure the people of North Korea, Syria, Bangladesh are all worked up over these deaths. In other words, don’t proclaim that “The World” cares just because you woke up to it. 2\> Media frenzy. Can’t look at a news page without it being full color splash. 3\> Did YOU care about these kids when they were alive, or is it just their deaths that makes you suddenly care? To your second, thanks for underlining his point. People like you are NOT looking for discussion, you’re looking for people to scream at. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/surprising-no-pro-gun-rights-senators-would-go-on-meet-the-press-sunday/644325)._
