Most gun deaths (e.g., suicides, gang shootings, domestic violence) are not politically motivated, and cannot be blamed on “right wingers” (if you are logical anyway).

The conservative reaction to Charlie's death is mostly empathy and grief. While some fringe voices have amplified political blame, the majority response has been largely respectful and mournful.

The flaw in your argument is that awful is such a subjective word. Sorry if that is a thought too complex for your mind.

False equivalency and no mention of murder of people who you don’t agree with is not acceptable
