In the aftermath of a national tragedy (which can include mass shootings, natural disasters, and terrorist attacks among other things), the commentary on social media is usually fast and flowing, with people of different political persuasions and backgrounds sharing their thoughts on what happened, who is allegedly to blame, where do we go from here, etc.
Tempers frequently rise on platforms like Facebook and Twitter/X after these types of events, and the result typically includes people yelling over each other (more so than normal) and trying to get the last word, claiming that whatever happened supposedly proves what they’ve been saying all along on a particular issue.
We see this often after mass shootings, where pro-gun control leftists and their mainstream media allies are quick to blame supporters of the Second Amendment for what happened well before…
