McConnell says there isn't much federal government can do about school shootings

DANVILLE
In 2018, at least 26 students have died in five school shootings in America. Two of those deaths came in a shooting at Marshall County High School in Kentucky.

On Tuesday, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he doesn't think Congress can do much to address the issue.

“I don’t think at the federal level there’s much that we can do other than appropriate funds,” McConnell told a group of community leaders in Danville Tuesday.

since no one he knows was shot and because he is getting big bucks from the NRA. When someone goes after him, his family or friends (if he has any) he will sing a different tune. I will sent him Thoughts and Prayers.
