Let's discuss the (INSERT SHOOTING TRAGEDY HERE) tragedy
........................................
First off, it is entirely acceptable for a Republican to opine that the tragedy could have been averted had the victims all been armed (please disregard previous tragedies where armed police officers themselves were injured by the shooter).
Second, poignant, but ultimately meaningless, gestures such as lighting tragedy candles at nighttime vigils, and posting anti-gun petitions on Change.org, are to be encouraged.
Finally, clutch your pearls, and all together now, ask the purely rhetorical question: "How could this happen?"
Forty-eight hours later return to talking about the Olympics and the latest Kardashian wedding until the next shooting occurs, then refer to point 1 above.
PS If the victims of the ___________tragedy were black, ignore the above restrictions and take up a collection for the shooter's defense fund.
the rest (yes, sarcasm):
