No one was telling him to be silence about whatever it is he thinks should be done about these mass shootings and guns.
No one? Are you sure?
Also a big bleep you goes out to Wil Wheaton. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/11/05/wil-wheaton-angers-people-faith-with-furious-tweet-at-paul-ryan.html
Notice Wheaton does make a genuine apology (to people of faith), in that same article for losing his cool towards Ryan.
What you are perhaps missing, is that some people feel waaaaay more anger and frustration about this issue, than they feel sadness. I’m sure they felt sad and in need of prayer, long, long ago but the amount of death and the amount of inaction (from politicians like Ryan) since then, mean that him saying people “need our prayers right now” yet again, instead of people “need us actually do something for once!” seem pretty f*cking insulting and hypocritical.
