NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch said “Many in the legacy media love mass shootings. You guys love it. I’m not saying you guys love the tragedy but I am saying you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold.” What kind of evil, twisted mind thinks like this? A guilty one.

In order to face reality, everyone needs to see the graphics of the damage caused by the bullets of an AR-15. A regular bullet can be removed, an AR-15 bullet causes an internal explosion of your organs and then death. If people understood these weapons, there would be no reason to have them on the market.

Robert Mueller ‘s team is now investigating whether Russian money went to the NRA to help Trump in 2016. Which means Mueller is investigating the NRA. Sweet!

The Trump administration is set to announce new sanctions targeting North Korea. Will that announcement include the long awaited sanctions with Russia?

According to Trump the NRA is run by “Patriots” who want to do the right thing. But the FBI is run by evil, incompetent people.

More guns are not the answer to an escalating violent society. Let’s just add more fuel to an open, spreading wildfire.

Gary residents are upset about the Wirt-Emerson closing. They complain that they are only “looking at the numbers.” Well yes, you have to consider the facts. Where do you think the money comes from when the population and taxes continues to dwindle?

More guns to solve gun violence? How about more alcohol to solve drunk driving, more cigarettes to combat cancer, more cheeseburgers to prevent heart disease, and more drugs to stop the opioid crisis? Sounds pretty stupid huh?

NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch is the very definition of a “paid crisis actor.” She takes money from the NRA to criticize people who have lost loved ones.

We don’t need more guns to solve the gun violence problem. This is not the wild west. I never feel less safe then when I am around a gun toting future vigilante. Who knows if they are the good guy, or a bad guy? I do not think our children should be subjected to militarization while going to preschool. What exactly are we trying to teach them? What happens if one of the kids gets hold of one of the teachers guns? I think it’s a stupid idea to arm our teachers.

Our president has an 11-year-old son and 9 grandchildren. You would think that he would be a bit more concerned and compassionate with these school shootings concerns.
