It's obvious that anyone screeching about theoretical Muslim terrorists among refugees while downplaying or outright ignoring the very real Christian terrorists right in our own country isn't serious about keeping the citizens safe, and should be considered unfit for government office.

ThinkProgress notes that if you're American, You Are More Than 7 Times As Likely To Be Killed By A [domestic] Right-Wing Extremist Than By Muslim Terrorists, and that that may be an underestimate.

What happened in Colorado, by the way, may be what's known as stochastic terrorism:
Stochastic terrorism is the use of mass communications to incite random actors to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable. In short, remote-control murder by lone wolf.
In other words, grumble enough in public about how someone should die, and the law of large numbers suggests that eventually, your message will reach someone who is willing to kill.

Yep.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

And Igor Volsky is retweeting the "thoughts and prayers" of U.S. Congresspeople while also tweeting out how much these asshats have received from the NRA in campaign contributions.

And now that there are rumors that the shooters in San Bernardino have Arabic names, some people think that means that all discussion of gun control should end.

Also, there's a ridiculous idea floating around that talking about how we can "ensure peace" is not political. You know, as opposed to talking about gun control.

For example, this guy:
For libs blaming #SanBernadino shooting on lack of gun control. I have 1 name for u: Farooq Saeed. Hard 2 choose which side to be on, right?
As if having an Arabic name means that - magically - gun control laws wouldn't have applied to the shooter. Or maybe he's thinking that Saeed had assault rifles and other combat gear smuggled in by ISIS, and so gun control laws would have been powerless to stop them?

And predictably, some are blaming Syrian refugees for this shooting.

Good grief. People like that are playing into the terrorists' hands.
