Rarely write vanity posts, but I'm shocked, and scared of how easy it will be to use this awful thing for political game.

I disagree. If Sandy Hook — DOZENS of PRESCHOOLERS — couldn’t do it, this sure won’t.

I heard Obama's really mad about this.

Hey Obama....How about the Christians being killed by Muzzies??

Every GOP candidate for president should go take a few hours today and rehearse coherent replies to media questions about this. I guarantee at least one candidate will nuke themselves with a dumb answer in the next couple days.

Did Columbine, Gabby Giffords, Newtown, Ferguson, St Trayvon or a hundred other incidents help them gain any ground in their struggle for more gun control?

“The story will be in the news for most of the next year, a perfect placement during the primaries in an election year. Any candidate claiming to be conservative will be linked to Dylann Storm Root. Any candidate claiming to support the Second Amendment will be linked to Dylann Storm Root. And all Republican candidates will be obligated to answer questions about the leftist transformation of society endlessly as the media waits for a candidate to misspeak, or even say something innocent that can be taken out of context.”

All that will be by next year down the “memory hole”.

Fasten your seatbelts. I don’t believe Obozo will go too far, but I do believe he will move on gun control. We’ll see.

Only the informed will remember similar massacres in a Scotland kindergarten and a Norwegian summer camp.

Or the gun-free massacre in Rwanda.

I condemn the murders and I condemn the left using it to justify further loss of rights by innocent Whites.

I’ve seen Roof’s Facebook site and it shows no connection to conservative causes or personalities. Watch for the left to create a bogus one to show a Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh, or Sara Palin connection. It’s no longer about the truth... the narrative — no matter how ill-gained — is everything.

And the fact that this was another massacre in a legally mandated gun free zone will hardly be heard at all.

appealing allusion that this kind of crime only takes place in the United States.

On my last trip to Honduras, around 2003, two blocks away from the hotel we were staying in several gunmen boarded a bus and open fired on all the passengers........

Or at a Paris magazine. But that was the Religion of Peace, so, never mind.

Yes, agreed that this is the perfect storm for Leftists: white male, branded already as a conservative and racist, the target was a black Democrat politician with a religious title (hence the martyr factor), and that’s the story that has gone global...

For sure there will be calls for gun control, but what will be the mantra if there is social unrest? Will protests be directed at one white person, or many? This can’t be laid at the cops feet.

His last name is Roof, not Root.

And fine so the left does... the real question we ought to be asking is why is it getting the traction it does. Why isn’t it laughed off?

The perp reloaded five times. But since concealed carry is not allowed in churches, no one could draw on him and drop him while he reloaded the first time.
