"“The more that we see this kind of violence on our streets, the more people go out and buy guns,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “That is both ironic and tragic.”"

Gun sales increase economic activity.

Guns, ammo, accessories, ranges, gunsmithing, shipping, maintenance supplies, tools, targets, cases, safes, .....

So many people and businesses benefit from increased gun sales!

If the government cared more about real job creation and less about Climate Change, maybe we would be seeing more economic growth.  I believe when the economy is bad, crime goes up, which in turn increases gun sales.  If they fixed the economy, maybe they'd also avoid this "tragedy" of increased gun ownership.

But, these people try to focus on one agenda item and throw whatever justifications they can at it to make us believe the agenda somehow is a good thing.

So sorry!  Not buying this BS.  The tragedy is our government spends more time trying to rob us of a Constitutional right than they do trying to lower the debt.  The $20 Trillion debt they are saddling this country with is going to cause more problems than all the guns in the nation will ever do!

Duuuuuuh. STARTING MONDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2015 IT WILL BE ILLEGAL TO BUY ANY BEEF OR BEEF PRODUCTS.  Now what the hell do you think most of us red blooded Americans are going to spend the weekend doing, buying all the beef we could hoard!  I wonder if the White House thought there would be a different outcome.
