Well now, has everyone got their indignation and their self-righteousness off their chests? There, doesn't that feel better?
Well,
of course it's perfectly acceptable to be "indignant" about
the number of firearm deaths and mass killings happening
every week across America.
Indignant,
adj: —feeling or showing anger because of something unjust or unworthy.
If you
don't feel angry about all those needless gun deaths,
then you really need to reappraise your obviously indifferent
moral and ethical beliefs.
Everybody should be angry.
And the issue of vehemently opposing the lax firearms laws
in America has nothing to do with complainants' "self-righteousness"
—it also has nothing to do with one feeling morally superior to
others. In actuality, opposition to those outdated, negligent
laws is the sign of a morally right or justifiable standpoint.
—In fact, your patronising little comment better represents
someone's self-righteousness—more so than any sort of
meaningful thought processes. Tsk, tsk.
