This standard is not weak. That is a dishonest attack. His statement is meant to justify the obviously un-needed deaths of children as a necessary evil for Americans to have a "God given right" to own guns.

And this is not a basis for concluding that he was morally wrong to say it. Unless you feel the same way about everything else that causes preventable deaths. (Note that the quote says nothing about children. This is a dishonest emotional plea.)
- soraminazuki 1y agoMany shooters choose schools as their crime scenes, to the extent that there's even a term for it: school shooting. Acknowledging facts isn't a "dishonest emotional plea."
