Nope, I wasn’t celebrating and pimping victimhood as a fetish. But these people survived something horrible as a community, bolstered by their deep sense of community and faith in G-d. And yes, that does offer lessons in how to cope through senseless tragedies like these terrible school shootings. And knowing someone who recently lost friends in the Northern Illinois University shooting, I fully believe that the people of Bath have shown how to cope and survive with such horror.

If you think what I said is a call for legislation via feelgoodism, you’re sadly mistaken. It is strength of character that the people of Bath showed. No call for needless and pointless laws; how can you make strength of character a point of law? That comes from within not via laws. That has nothing to do with my politics or beliefs; I don’t know how you interpreted all that out of my quote.

If you can get me on Oprah, I’d be eternally grateful by the way, since it would do wonders for book sales!

Your dodging and dancing around it underwhelms me.
