      I favor gun reform, but was the Boston bombing also "about pressure cookers"? Focus on the cause, not the means.https://twitter.com/FareedZakaria/status/742060714894954497 …

      Orlando attack appears to be about radical Islam and guns. You don't have to choose, it can be both.

      A pressure cooker has a non-violent purpose. A gun only shoots a projectile to kill. It is otherwise useless.
