I am so truly disgusted that this unstable criminal was able to acquire weapons enough to kill a school full of children.
I am so truly inspired by Antoinette Tuff's heroism.
Antoinette Tuff is my hero! What a wonderful, poised, compassionate woman. Kudo's to her for averting another bloodbath
The Georgia elementary school gunman had 500 rounds of ammunition. What does the NRA think? Does this gunman had enough ammunitions? Is 500 rounds enough? Wouldn't it be a better situation with the gunman and Police armed and shooting, the elementary school children would be armed and shooting; their teachers armed and shooting; Oh, the Janotors – yes they too armed and shooting. Would that be enough, Mr. NRA?
We are creating a violence society with guns and we think this is our 4th Armendement Rights?
Common Sense America!
Yeah, good idea. How about that Mr. NRA?
