The more I thought about it, the more jarring it is that rather than expressing his personal grief, he issued a political statement.

Most people would be speaking of their feelings, of their son, of their loss, it would be focused on themselves and their child, their family unit, their wife and other kids, it would all be about his little piece of life, but not this guy, he spoke of politics.

“”Chris died because of craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA. They talk about gun rights, what about Chris’ right to live? When will this insanity stop?”....

Ansel12, I think the man was sincerely grief-stricken and was expressing just that. I'm sure he was anti-gun before his son was murdered, so it's predictable he's even more so now. I don't think we should criticize someone who's just lost his child. Do I agree with his political views? No, I don't, not at all. But I won't criticize a grieving parent only hours after the murder of his son.
