Good advice, Michelle. But, alas … it’s advice not taken.
We still don’t know much about what happened at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, but that didn’t stop liberals from using the horrific attack to push their anti-gun agenda.
First up, here’s former CNN host Piers Morgan with his now standard angry, but solution-free, rant on guns:
45 school shootings in America this year.
0 new gun laws since Sandy Hook.
Now this.
SHAMEFUL. #oregon— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 1, 2015
How long? 85 people die from guns every day in America. https://t.co/CiBFLNQyR3

What are you going to do, America?
Anything?
Or does the slaughter just go on and on and on?#guns #oregon— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 1, 2015
It's not dust, it's blood. > RT @Fpsoxfan @piersmorgan the dust hasn't even settled and you are politicizing this. Have you no shame?

'Guns don't kill people, people kill people.'
Oh fuck off.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 1, 2015
Bonus: Piers is pro-gun if it’s Vladimir Putin who has the gun:
Piers Morgan declares, "sometimes in life, guns are the only answer." Putin's guns, that is http://t.co/f4Ue8d8Jl2

Former NFL player and HuffPo writer Donté Stallworth weighed in as well:
This makes me very sad and angry https://t.co/R6FwnMGW5m — we've got to do much better, America.
— Donté Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) October 1, 2015
I'm not for taking away guns but I AM for taking the @NRA out of this conversation because only one thing matters to them.
— Donté Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) October 1, 2015
I shouldn't be expressing so much anger before giving my condolences to the victims in Oregon. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
— Donté Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) October 1, 2015
We like to act like we're the greatest country in the world or that we're God's gift to this planet. Miss me with that bullshit!
— Donté Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) October 1, 2015
Yeah, Donté … America is a horrible, horrible place that never, ever gives somebody a second chance.
At least Sen. Schumer wants to wait until tomorrow before he politicizes it:
Today we send thoughts & prayers to #UCCShooting victims & families. Tmrw we must find a way – regardless of politics – to end the violence.
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) October 1, 2015
And we don’t know anything about the shooter or the weapon he used, but Josh Earnest knows “common sense gun control” is the answer:

Actor Adam Rose wants more gun control, too:

The NRA is getting blamed, as expected. Actor Patton Oswalt:
Sickened by the Portland shooting. Luckily @Stormof69 is currently making mincemeat of an NRA douche on Twitter. Follow her & breathe.

Actor Lucas Neff:

Author Molly Knight:
Can you imagine working for the NRA and having to look yourself in the mirror on days like this and also on days that end in the letter Y
— Molly Knight (@molly_knight) October 1, 2015
Actor Oscar Nunez:
Let's not forget that in the United States there is nothing we can do about gun control. Go NRA, always shoot first??
— Oscar Nunez (@OscarNunezLA) October 1, 2015
And it goes on and on and on.
