In honor of Claires life, cut short by a shooting that was avoidable and senseless, and all of the victims of gun violence in our country, American mothers will continue to fight for gun reform until Congress and our state legislatures enact real, meaningful solutions.
How many more innocent children must we lose to gun violence so the NRA and its corporate masters, the gun manufactures, can make billions of dollars in profits? Claire Davis fought for 8 days to live after taking a shotgun blast to her head by a crazed fellow student. When will WE THE PEOPLE start to fight so her murder will not be in vain?

Blind rage or endless grief. Probably both.
So awful.
Fuck the NRA.
When will the politicians start listening to the people of this once great country and not the nra?

Wayne LaPierre and the NRA can join Charlton Heston in hell.

rather than the names of the shooters - maybe some of the dynamics might change.
Plus gun control laws.
