School Shootings are out of control

There have been 11 school shootings THIS year. It is January 23!!! That is 17 days between Mon and Fri. Now take out MLK day. 16 days. Now remove New Year's day. 15 days. Did every school start on Jan 2?

Fuck you Republicans for not even attempting to address this issue.

My mistake there have been 11 mass shootings so far this year. 11 out of 23 days. I misquoted a stat I heard earlier.

I only knew of 2.

If you are waiting for Republicans to address Gun Violence, you're barking up the wrong tree.

even if they fake responsibility and lock them up.

Of course, the NRA, Russia, gun owners, manufacturers, marketeers, etc., have responsibility too.
