See for yourself:
This was a heinous tragedy. Your remarks move me to ask: What do 5 million members of the NRA have to do with this man’s crime? Was this man a card-carrying member? His purchases were legal, whose fault is that? Does he bear any blame at all? Serious questions. https://t.co/Y7LDftiCwZ

The Politicization of Tragedies and Debates Over Gun Control
Whenever a crime committed with a gun happens and makes national news, the matter faces rapid politicization. In virtually all cases, Democrats and progressives maintain that cracking down on the NRA and enforcing stricter gun control measures will solve the problem. Now, in fairness, Craddock purchased his firearms legally; however, this is not the case for many criminals.
Instances such as the tragic Virginia shooting almost always reignite the controversial debate over gun control. The reality is that Republicans and Democrats have very different ideas on appropriate prevention measures. Many on the right-wing favor examining mental health and various warning signs that someone will commit a shooting.
