The murder of 9 people at the Emmanuel AME church in Charleston, SC has left many reeling in shock and pain; the family members, parishioners, and friends most of all. The speculation about the criminal shooter and his motives (I refuse to use his name) has been running rampant. It is human nature to want to find out WHY someone would do something so evil. It is human nature to want to get answers as to WHY someone can hate someone so much because of their color, their religion, or their race.

We all want those answers, and we want them in hopes that we can understand and finally stop this kind of hatred and evil from inflicting the pain that the people of Charleston, SC are dealing with right now. However, several prominent people yesterday have already put forth their idea of what the answer is. As we noted here, President Obama was pretty much first out of the gate with the idea that if we have gun control, then this won’t happen again.

Late yesterday afternoon, Candidate Hillary, speaking to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, decided to jump on the bandwagon:

Hillary, at the same time that she was offering her condolences, basically called for a national conversation about guns.
