Has anyone else had physical reactions when reading this kind of news. I have a pounding headache and having trouble catching my breath. The horrors every week are too much.

This is much, much more than enough. I don’t know how Republicans can keep supporting the gun lobby. Those of us who are sane need to protest in the streets until this stops.

texas governor is getting scorched online for having signed a law that expands where guns can be carried

i guess it’s provably too soon to make this political and wonder what laws might prevent a shooting like this from happening.

I'd be lying if I said I don't think about it every time I walk out the house. It's sad because I miss the days when I only worried about it happening at work (I'm a teacher). I went to Walmart and the movies today and found myself looking for the exits at both places because it's happened at both places. Strangely enough, I saw The Matrix re-release today. I remember when the media blamed Columbine on that and Marilyn Manson. Now it's video games.

Don't forget mental health.

As if other countries don't have mental health issues, angry males, video games, and extreme music.

Wayne LaPierre is just fine with this:

"That’s when he saw a young girl, just 17 months old, who had been struck in the face by a bullet."

and this:

"Inside, he said he saw a baby girl in a car seat whose face, shirt and lap were covered in blood. One of his co-workers, who is also a paramedic, checked on the child until on-duty paramedics arrived and said that she appeared to have been shot in the shoulder."

Because he has gotten rich off the bloodshed and gun frenzy.

^^ The above quotes are from tonight's events. These things just happened folks. We are sitting here in our houses while people are dead, in hospitals, or dealing with the serious injury of their babies.

Most other civilized countries don’t have half the neglected children (and elderly) that this country has. You ought to travel a bit and see how normal humans care for their young.

Child abuse and neglect can have devastating consequences. So next time you see it, it IS your business - or at least it should be.
