Today marks 8 years since Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old high school student was murdered by Michael David Dunn, a 45-year-old software developer, following an argument over loud music played by Davis and his three friends. Dunn shot and killed Jordan on November 23, 2012, at a Gate Petroleum gas station in Jacksonville, Florida.

Jordan’s mother, Lucy McBath, 60, who is currently serving as the U.S. Representative for Georgia’s 6th congressional district, has taken to twitter on Monday to write a heartbreaking note in remembrance of her son and to other mothers who lost their children in the cause of gun violence .

And here we go...

I’d got for Trump issuing an XO that says all people in the US are entitled to one AR-15 for their safety paid for by the government

Incomprehensibly stupid to blame the tool for the actions of the operator.

“...who lost their children in the cause of gun violence .”


In the “cause of gun violence” WTH is that supposed to mean? Perhaps the writer meant to say “because of gun violence”. In any case, there is no such thing as ‘gun violence’, there are violent human beings who sometimes use guns.

I can’t fault the mother for missing her son. The man who killed him has been sentenced to life without parole. He apparently didn’t like the volume of ‘music’ coming from a car in a public parking lot and decided he was going to do something about it. Stupid choice that cost a life—two if you count his.

Lucy McBath suffered a horrible tragedy that no mother should have to suffer.....

8 years is a short time when you lose a child.....

Yes, she is misguided in her vitriol against guns but I give her deference as a Mom.....

I do not give her deference as a Congresswoman..... So in a few weeks, after she has time to mourn again, for whats its worth, I WILL reach out to her to state my case...

I fault the mother for raising an entitled thug son that saw nothing wrong with running with his friends and disturbing the peace.   The foolish kid didn't deserve death but, in any case, he was going to have a comeuppance and now that idiot mother is my Congresswoman.   GRRRRR!

It isn’t the gun-—It is the CRAZY who has the gun.

Stores all over the USA have guns there....And NONE of them get into any trouble on their own. Day after day...year after year....no trouble.

Sad how many people with an ‘education’ cannot grasp this fact.
