To all of those Rethugs who tell people not to

jump to conclusions about how this murderer obtained the gun, shut up. Newsflash...
the murderer legally obtained his gun...

Cruz had legally purchased the gun he used during the shooting, the family’s attorney, Jim Lewis, told the Sun Sentinel.

“It was his gun,” Lewis said. “The family made him keep it in a locked gun cabinet in the house, but he had a key.”

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R) on Wednesday cautioned that a law may not have prevented the tragic shooting at a South Florida high school, in response to calls for increased gun control.

Rubio said that "people still don't know how" the shooting occurred, or how the 19-year-old suspect Nikolas Cruz obtained the weapon he used to kill 17 people in the Broward County school.

"I think it's important to know all of that before you jump to conclusions that there was some law that we could have passed that would have prevented it. And there may be, but shouldn't we at least know the facts?" Rubio said on Fox News.

Rubio said it was not appropriate for his Senate colleagues to use the incident as an opportunity to call for increased gun control immediately.

...so I urge my good friends in Congress to do what they do best -- nothing. Don't even talk about it. We'll have the opportunity to revisit the issue when it happens again...

Wash, rinse, repeat.
