Last night, Governor Kemp refused to answer a question about how to make Georgia schools safer from gun violence: “This is not the day to talk about safety or policy. We need thoughts and prayers for the victims, law enforcement and educators.”@BrianKempGA – Is today the day? pic.twitter.com/PVtbuhnzNd

‘We cannot and will not stand by and silently accept that tens of thousands of people dying by gun violence each year is simply part of life… Nor can we accept excuses from political leaders that there is nothing that can be done. To do nothing is to be complicit…” https://t.co/07uyG3kBxv

If not now, WHEN will it ever be appropriate to talk about the evil of killing our own children.
“Thoughts and prayers?” Jebus. Please tell me he didn’t really say that. Beyond the pathetic stupidity, however, is the fact that lobbyists and big money run the country and your vote doesn’t really matter. The Princeton study was released a decade ago, and it’s worse now. (bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746) The NRA’s grip has not loosened despite the fact that it has been shown to be a cesspool of corruption and that indescribable piece of shit LaPierre has been flushed.
It has been known for decades that 90% of “Dems favor very significant gun restrictions. Even 70% of Repubs favor some restrictions. Nothing happens. Children die.
