You raise them and protect them as best you can. But hanging like a dark cloud over every school student is the fear that one or two bad apples will brandish an assault rifle with hundreds of rounds of ammunition and mass murder whomever crosses their path.

Horrifying, the environment in our country the NRA and GOP have created!

Truth is, I memorize what he is wearing to school every single day. Every day. The 2nd day of school this year, his school went into lockdown over a threat made by a student who claimed he had a long gun hidden at school. My kid was texting me from room 335…third floor. He was asking me if it got bad, should he jump out the window or not. I almost can’t type this. I only have this one child.

We should never forget the pain of so many parents burying their innocent children. This is our stain on this country. It’s maddening that this goes on year after year n nothing..nothing gets done about. it. It’s our society’s collective crime. I hate it.

a couple of hundred others?

I appreciate the thought but it's thoughts and prayers, lather rinse and repeat.

I only wish SOMEONE other than the parents would remember.

Joe The Plumber: ‘Your Dead Kids Don’t Trump My Constitutional Rights’ To Have Guns

Ironic how he chose that verb back in 2014.

Will there be another Alex Jones claiming it's a hoax?

And his supporters who want to protect their guns more than protecting the children.

He would not make the hoax claim if he was not making money from his supporters.

No you can’t.

Sorry, but I find this the same as “thoughts and prayers.”
