"Sadly, before the sun had even set on the horrible day of tragedy, we witnessed a now familiar parade of cynical politicians seeking to exploit the tears of sobbing families to increase their own power and take away our constitutional rights.
"Every time a disturbed or demented person commits such a hideous crime, there's always a grotesque effort by some in our society to use the suffering of others to advance their own extreme political agenda.
"Even more repulsive is their rush to shift blame away from the villains who commit acts of mass violence and to place that blame onto the shoulders of millions of peaceful, law-abiding citizens who belong to organisations such as our wonderful NRA."
Was it:
(a) a cynical politician seeking to exploit the tears of sobbing families to increase his own power?
(b) someone using the suffering of others to advance his own political agenda?
(c) a law-abiding citizen and former draft-dodger addressing our wonderful NRA?
