While it may not be exactly "stuff happens," Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's response to America's latest mass shooting essential boils down to murder happens in all manners, so let's not focus on guns. “We always talk about what the weapon was, but whether it’s a pressure cooker or whether it’s a gun, we’re dealing with people who are either deranged or they’re very focused because they want to kill people in the name of terrorism,” Huckabee argued during an interview on CNN's "New Day" on Monday, discussing last week's shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. The 26-year-old shooter stockpiled 14 guns in his apartment. "We have not so much a gun problem, we have a problem with sin and evil,” the former Arkansas pastor declared, insisting that a rush to discuss gun control measures in the wake of America's 294th mass shooting in 2015 was misguided. Huckabee, like nearly all of his Republican rivals, twisted to simultaneously express condolences for an event that has become all too commonplace in American society while at the same time shrugging off its prevalence. “There is no law which prevents people from doing things that are violent.
