School shootings are just an ordinary fact of life now, that we all have to accept and deal with, because the NRA says so.

that the RePutin Party will never admit that we have a gun problem.

I remember sitting in a restaurant a few blocks from my office trying to choke down a meal while the media covered Sandy Hook right after it happened. Tears were streaming down my face. I really thought that incident would be the turning point.

If a rampage involving a bunch of 5 year olds being systematically assasinated by a lunatic gun humper didn't change things, nothing will.

So long as the wealthy and their GOPer politicians aren't the targets of mass shootings nothing will change. They don't mind when working class people are slaughtering each other
