Speaking with CNN host Anderson Cooper, a survivor of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, lambasted Republicans who sell their votes to the NRA — taking specific aim at his Republican U.S. senator and governor.

According to Cameron Kasky, there were many heroes at the Florida high school where former student Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people on Wednesday — but he sees no heroism in the words of Republicans who only offer their “thought and prayers.

“There is a segment of this society that will shrug this off and send their thoughts and prayers but march for hours over a rainbow wedding cake” he added.

He slams Rubio and Rick for their parts.

It’s scary to think these are the people who are making our laws when our community just took 17 bullets to the heart. It feels like the only people who don’t care are the people making the laws.

3. Conservatives should be held accountable. Shame on them!

I also do not see any heroism in the words of these conservative money-grubbing NRA-ass-kissers.

Shame! Vote every conservative out of office this Fall.

7. The students may be able to do what adults haven't...

get the GOP to pass strict gun restriction laws finally. They have the energy, enthusiasm and drive to accomplish a lot. They could lead the grassroots efforts that actually do something real and constructive. Mothers against drunk driving (MADD) changed a lot of laws, hopefully these teenagers and young adults will do the same.

8. I notice in the picture:

"Speeding Fines Doubled" - the government can pass a regulation when they noticed people driving too fast in a school zone to keep students safe, why can't the Feds do the same?
