politicians as can be rounded up. Have them clean up the crime scene. Have them talk to the families of the dead so they can explain to them why guns are so important - and why NRA money is so important.
And don't let them leave - any of them, until each one of them has talked to each parent.
Nowhere to hide for them. Nowhere.

(23,315 posts)I know people will say its a pipe dream and maybe it is....but I get it. I was fantasizing that the NRA should have to pay for metal detectors and staff to monitor them at every freaking school in the country. The fact is, however, if someone aspiring to murder children makes it out of their car and across a parking lot with a semi automatic rifle...there isnt a metal detector and monitor that can stop them. If they make it through the doors at school, somebody is going to die.

(13,871 posts)After the fall of the Nazis and liberation of the death camps Eisenhower forced the residents of nearby towns to go to the camps and help bury the dead. He did this for two reasons:
So no one would ever be able to deny the enormity of what happened,
And, because he was disgusted by those townspeople claiming that they had not known what was happening there.
While we know it couldnt happen, it would be just and fair to require the gun makers, NRA, and their Congressional supporters to visit the sites before the bodies are removed. See if they can look on the broken, dead bodies of those children and say, Just the cost of freedom.

Makes absolutely no sense. Then again, little has since the election was stolen a little over a year ago.
