Well...

If you don't want it called a "convenient little massacre" then don't treat it or use it as one.

From Huffington Post:

"Fredric Dicker, widely regarded as one of the most influential media voices in New York state politics, made the comment on his radio show Monday. He was speaking about gun control legislation passed by the state's governor, Andrew Cuomo.

"That was his anti-gun legislation, which he had promised not to do, but then he had a little convenient massacre that went on in Newtown, Conn., and all of a sudden there was an opportunity for him," Dicker said."

He's right - it was a convenient little massacre, used by Cuomo, Obama and many others to push an agenda, an agenda that they continue to try to push.  It seems pretty clear that underneath their public horror, they salivate at the opportunity to use such events to further their agendas.  It matters not that none of the actions they want to take will prevent such events, that the laws they put in place to control firearms affect only those who hold them lawfully.

So - sad to say - he is right.  If you don't like it being called that, then don't use it that way.
