this [b]was[/b] a counter to this. [quote]>someone tried to make an event of the same date where the theme was "guns are bad" [/quote]

So my point is proven as correct Cool

yeah, it's a counter to a protest against guns to be held in the same town and on the same date.

Doesn't make it okay

but it still isn't the same as the OP 's one-sided story wherein no mention was made of the initial protest against guns planned for newtown on Dec 14th.

Umm... no. If there is massacre committed with a gun, then the people are ethically correct to protest guns, whether you believe gun control is effective or not. That's entirely different from having an anti-gun control holiday on a day when a gun allowed a massacre to happen. Nice try though.

right. the anti-gun groups involved are being highly insensitive, but exploitation of tragedy is a big, big rule of their playbook. if it weren't for their insensitivity in the matter, there would be no need for further insensitivity.

so it's cool to be insensitive if somebody else is n0
