Not knowing the specific wording of the resolution, I'm not sure whether this is just misusing a terrible tragedy for bipartisan political grandstanding, or is there an ulterior motive in this? What's the point in condemning a mass shooting? And why just this particular mass shooting, or even mass shootings in general? Why not condemn the violence in Chicago, for example? Don't misunderstand me, I know why Portman and Brown consider this mass shooting more important than others because it happened in Ohio, but why would someone else sign onto just this particular one?

Re: Resolution introducted condemning Dayton mass shooting
I'm of the thinking that if the topic is kept front and center it's a means to keep/garner momentum to 'do something'.

Re: Resolution introducted condemning Dayton mass shooting
I agree. The Democrats want to keep the anti-gun issue hot. A resolution is just a way of doing it.Aesinsp wrote:I'm of the thinking that if the topic is kept front and center it's a means to keep/garner momentum to 'do something'.

Portman teaming up with Brown. Portman is pro-ERPOzxty's , among other things.
NOT a good combo, IMHO.
