A Texas Congressman tweeted a thought that combined two hot button topics: gun control and abortion.

While provocative, the Congressman does demonstrate the high emotional stakes that the gun control debate has stirred. 

While the President shamelessly shops some of the parents of the Newtown tragedy around to promote increased gun control legislation, pundits are stoking the flames of passion on the issue with their provocative stances. 

MSNBC host Martin Bashir outrageously initmated that some Republicans would not filibuster gun control if one of their children were slaughtered.

Ann Coulter, conservative flame thrower, suggested in her hyperbolic style, that Meghan McCain be the sacrificial lamb. 

Call me naive, but I really wish that the politicians and pundits would stop spending so much time stoking passions and come up with actual solutions. 

I have not looked at the bill that is being proposed in the US Senate, but I can imagine that there would be practically nothing in that bill that would have prevented the gun killing of those innocent children in Connecticut. 

And after all the passions set aflame, isn't this the true tragedy of this debate?
