I’ve long called anti-gunners “ghoulish” with their incessant need to try and turn every mass murder involving a firearm into an opportunity to push gun control. They use the bodies of the slain as a soapbox to push for policies they want, even if it’s obvious that there’s nothing they’re pushing that would have stopped the incident in question.
But as bad as those are, they’re still within the wheelhouse of what they claim they want to accomplish. It’s still ghoulish, but it’s at least something that deals with the topic they’ve dedicated themselves to.
What about when there’s some other awful tragedy, one that doesn’t involve guns?
Most gun control groups tend to leave politics out of it. They might offer condolences or whatever, but they don’t try to turn it political.
The K-12 School Shooting Database, which is a particular brand of awful as it is, decided to see how low it could stoop over the weekend. After all, there was flash flooding in Texas that left massive devastation and a huge loss of life, so why not try to make it about gun control?
21 students and teachers were murdered in Uvalde because Texas doesn’t have a red flag law or fund prevention of mass shootings.
21 children drowned at Camp Mystic (11 girls and one counselor still missing) because they didn’t get a flood warning.

Of course, as the Community Note points out, there was a warning. It’s just that no one expected it to be this bad or get there that quickly.
So right there, the entire thing completely collapses.
However, the ghoulishness doesn’t stop there, because the killer in Uvalde, for all that we know about him, wouldn’t necessarily have been someone who would have had a red flag order issued against him should the state have had a law. As we’ve seen elsewhere, a lot of people don’t realize the person they know would do something like that until after it happens.
But that’s really just a small bit of the overall issue here, because who in the hell actually posts something like this and thinks it’s a good idea?
Who types this and hits “post” and thinks, “This is a banger,” and doesn’t see how absolutely disgusting it is?
As bad as gun control organizations are with their ghoulishness, I can at least see the argument. I can understand why they think they need to jump in and push their agenda before the bodies are even cool. I don’t like it, but I get it.
This, though?
This is something else. This is nothing but a disgusting misrepresentation of everything across the board, all to leverage people who died and are missing to push an agenda that had nothing at all to do with what happened.
This isn’t just gross. It’s evil.
I knew these people were low. I’m used to how this “database” uses anything and everything they can concoct to try and make it look like school shootings are so much more common than they really are, at least as most people think of them, but this is a new low. This is a low deep enough to make the Marianas Trench look like Mount Everest.
And the worst part? No one on their side of the aisle will call them on it.
I suspect some are upset they didn’t think of it.
