No matter...

No matter how many children are gun-downed, no matter how many parents weep for their dead children, no matter how traumatized children are, no matter how many people are shot down and killed, no matter how many demonstrations, sit-ins, marches, protest, no matter how many thoughts and prayers, town hall meetings, letters written...the GOP will never ever change any gun laws. They do not care about the American people. They have made this quite clear.

They get money from the NRA to do the bidding of the gun industry. The NRA are no more or less than the lobbying arm of the gun manufacturers. It’s all about profits. $$$ over children’s lives.

of gun fanatics who call themselves Democrats that march in lockstep with the right-wing gun lobby. They tend to be single-issue voters, and NRA politicians tend to get their votes.

could have been done if Republicans hadn't cut school funding year after year:

• More security guards

• More mental health services

etc, etc, etc.

Steve Scalise, (R-LA) was nearly killed by a crazed gunman. He has an A+ rating from the NRA.

There is no getting through to these people.
