It's interesting that somehow we all think we can immediately divine the motivations of someone who kills a bunch of people when very often it takes a lot of time and investigation by police and prosecutors to determine motive in a court of law. It's not at all surprising that the conversations immediately following something like this are colored by politics. Was the shooter motivated by religious extremism? Was he motivated by hatred of LGBT people? Was it caused by too-liberal gun laws? Could it have been prevented by someone carrying concealed in the club?
Really, who cares? Why are so many people more concerned with framing future political arguments about causes and solutions? None of it actually helps the victims or helps prevent future incidents.
