Another school shooting!

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the American people who want gun control and to the parents and families of the students and a teacher (not sure if it was one teacher) of this shooting earlier today. How on earth can a 19 year old get a hold of such a gun?

What is wrong with Republican Senators, Governors and the NRA members who keep protesting against gun control?
Are they so immune that their children will not be affected because they go to private schools? Can you imagine saying bye to your child and wishing him/her a nice day and then this senseless shooting happens. When will these republicans become humans and feel the pain that parents feel when their child gets killed at school?

On a side note, thanks to the DUers who gave me hearts.

I imagine their kids are in private schools with personal security/body guards anyway. They don't worry about the rest of us. How else could they send their children out into the world every day? Though, the ones who are as bad as the maggot don't put even their own children ahead of their greed.

That is so true, the gun nuts, especially the republicans senators and governors send their children to private school and do not care about the rest of the American families whose children go to public schools. To me, this shooting should at least help in some way to facililate some sort of gun control. A 19 year old can get such a weapon but cannot drink!
