Mass school shootings are just another luxury we have in this wonderful country called America

These kids being gunned down need to understand the concept of freedom and exercising one's second amendment rights.

Other luxuries in this country include:

- Billions of dollars allocated to enriching private defense companies at the expense of the poor/middle class
- Massive healthcare costs which lead to bankruptcy for many Americans
- Stop and frisk where walking down the street while black or Hispanic is suspect
- Longer sentences for black people even if they commit the exact same crime as white person
- Holding 25% of the world's prisoners even though we have 5% of the world's population


Freedom isn't free!
