Today Trump and the GOP''s heartless insensitive words and actions will never be forgotten or forgiven. In their darkest hour the families and friends of the victims will bear the painful burden of insults and mediocracy hurled at them by the president and his henchmen in power.

How many of them voted for politicians that took money from the NRA to allow easy access to guns?

What will our great commander in chief do when he realizes the crowds gathered all over the nation demanding keeping our precious children safe are bigger than the “masses” that were present for his inauguration. Wait can he fire the NRA?

I can not imagine the pain of the families who lost their children. I also can not understand why common sense gun control cant be past. Sure both sides will blame the other and nothing get done. A teenager able to purchase that weapon? Ridiculous.

A chant of "no more guns" broke out at a vigil Thursday night honoring the victims of the deadly mass shooting at a Florida high school.

The vigil, held in Parkland, Fla., was attended by thousands of people, according to reports, including politicians and local officials.

At one point during the vigil, chants of "no more guns!" broke out among the attendees.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.), who represents a neighboring district, spoke at the vigil to encourage attendees to get involved in politics in the wake of the shooting.

"We must hold other people's elected officials accountable. We must make sure that they hear us," she said.

"We will help lead you to help other communities elect people who will do the right thing, who will make sure no one's families ever have to go through this again.".....................................................
