    “Hopes and prayers, constitution ties our hands, we’ve done all we can do, it’s the parent’s fault, he played too much red dead redemption, if all the bus passengers had guns this wouldn’t have happened….”

    Start taxing the SHIT out of ammo, Chris Rock had a great idea, we just need to make it law.

        While I do think this situation is tragic all around, I feel the need to post the definition of “Joke” from Wikipedia:

        “A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh and is usually not meant to be interpreted literally. It usually takes the form of a story, often with dialogue, and ends in a punch line, whereby the humorous element of the story is revealed; this can be done using a pun or other type of word play, irony or sarcasm, logical incompatibility, hyperbole, or other means.”

        And so I think his comment was an absolutely valid joke. You can joke about horrible things and still remain respectful. Actually it’s a very therapeutic and didactic thing to do, if done right.
