Again, these are children forced to make life and death decisions because adults are too busy arguing about an amendment written in 1791 about muskets. I don’t even know who the shooter is (my guess is a white male) and I don’t care anymore. We need Congress to act so kids aren’t losing their lives over something completely preventable.
It is despicable that we still don’t have universal background checks. It is despicable there are online gun shows where mentally ill can contact a private seller and buy a gun in person without a background check. We aren’t trying to take all of your guns. We are trying to make common sense gun reforms so this stops happening.
Imagine if this was your son, daughter, or family member. This angers me to my core. -Joseph Jefferson

This is heroism of the truest kind. Would that we had meaningful background checks with no exemptions. Gun shows? Require gun buyers to have pre-approval.
