Conservatives appear fond of a meme...
"Nothing can be done," which directly condones gun violence.
I don't want to put words in your mouth, Jody, since I don't know where you stand on this.
But to say (as so many conservatives do) "nothing can be done" is a rather straightforward acceptance of gun violence. And I think ER is quite correct in suggesting that this acceptance is born of some truly horrifying motivations.
