So you’re whining about “thoughts and prayers” because you don’t like the policy stances of people who say itAnd we whine about “WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING” because we don’t agree with the policy stances of people who say it.
No, he is saying condolences do not provide changes, perhaps we could find a way to prevent/minimize mass shootings in the future.
Of course, there is causation which is much harder to narrow down and legislate, then we have the other side what items do say nut jobs use to achieve said outcomes....much easier to legislate.

2 killed at Central Michigan University, gunman 'armed and dangerous' still at large
edit: My bad, only two were killed, I think it has to be four to be a mass shooting.

i do appreciate the comedic irony that posting "thoughts and prayers" in the context of national tragedy is, by far, the most tired and ineffectual form of virtue signalling.
Aww boo hoo. The truth is leftists whine about thoughts and prayers being pointless while at the same time doing all kinds of pointless shit in their everlasting tantrum over Trump.
The true comedy is you've deluded yourself into somehow believing otherwise lol.

Lol bullshit. The arguments tend to verge on the hysterical and uninformed. We saw proof of this after the Florida shooting. Several false or misleading talking points were spread by both some of the media outlets and by some of the survivors of the shooting who were propped up by CNN.
