As Twitchy reported, President Obama took a page from his favorite book and used the #CharlestonShooting as an opportunity to push for gun control.
Predictable? You bet. Shameless? Sickening? Pathetic? Absolutely.

Wait… did Obama just pivot to gun control? ALREADY? What a piece of crap. #CharlestonShooting

Injecting gun control into this speech was in poor taste

It's not been 24 hours since the tragedy in Charleston and Obama pulls the gun control argument. It's inappropriate at this time.

Bad form, @BarackObama. Making this political during a tragedy where Americans died is just in bad taste.

Never let a crisis go to waste, eh @POTUS? Lead by example and disarm the Secret Service. #2A

Aaaand there it is
Guns guns guns guns guns. Its all guns fault. People arent evil, and they wouldn't kill if they didnt have guns.
Nope.— Jack Rackham (@McIrishHog) June 18, 2015
Obama's solution to a mass killing in a gun free zone is…more gun free zones.
He's sharp.#CharlestonShooting

GP There is no moment so somber or tragic that Obama won't politicize it for his gain.

Yep.
And now … duty calls:

A terror attack changed Bush's presidency. A terror attack doesn't even change Obama's fundraising schedule.
