Rules for mass shootings.

1. Over the next 72 hours, we shouldn't "politicize" the event.

2. "Politicize" means "discuss legislative polices (gun control measures) that could have prevented the act."

3. The shooter was obviously crazy and would've found some other way to kill the victims.

4. If the victims had been armed, fewer would've died.

5. If the shooter was motivated by animus towards Muslims, it's because of Obama's feckless foreign policy.*




*(And yes, Glenn Reynolds actually made that point about Mosque bombing.)
