Following Friday’s fatal school shooting in Texas numerous Democrat legislators called for Congress to take action.

Rep. Donald McEachin (VA), a self described “Progressive Democrat,” strongly condemned Republicans, tweeting that “Children’s blood is on their hands”:

“When will this Republican controlled government allow us to act to protect our kids? Children's blood is on their hands.”

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy published a tweet that said: “Let’s call it like it is: the horrifying inaction of Congress, slaughter after slaughter, has become a green light to would-be shooters, who pervert silence into endorsement.”

Some legislators mentioned the National Rifle Association (NRA). Texas Congressman Lloyd Doggett released a statement in which he referred to Congress as “NRA-controlled”:

“When will this Republican controlled government allow us to act to protect our kids? Children’s blood is on their hands.”

I wish we had a few Republicans with balls in Congress, they could offer up a bill Prohibiting ALL Firearms, Weapons and Ammunition from EVERY SCHOOL in America, Public and Private.

and throw it right back in their face.

Because the lying, murderous, traitorous Demonicrats—hell cannot be made too hot for their homecoming—promote and celebrate the slaughter of children of the womb, it is no surprise that the spawn of their satanic lies should decide to murder other innocent people. The Demonicrats are rightly co-conspirators and should be tried, convicted, and sentenced to hang right along with the murderer of Texas students.

Rush Limbaugh has always said “words mean things.” The left understands this very well. They haven’t been successful in pushing “Gun Control”, so now, more and more, they are using the term “Gun Safety” in its place. After all, “control” is one thing, but who could be opposed to “safety?” Same agenda, new name.

Well according to kimmel (kibble?), coward Trump could solve this with an EO abolishing the 2nd amendment. That’s the implication I get from reading his spiel from his show. Yeah, they are that stupid and they vote. You don’t like our constitution and BOR, MOVE!

As a lying, pro-murder-by-abortion, traitorous Demonicrat, Rep. Donald McEachin (VA) should be tried, convicted, sentenced and hanged right along with the murderer of Texas students.

That’s one of the better ideas I’ve heard. Let’s use MS-13 gang members to protect schools.

They should make a federal law that says it’s illegal to commit murder. They could make another that is illegal to shoot guns or blow up bombs in schools.

For those interested here is a link to the school shootings for the last 260 years in the USA. It appears that as morality decreased, shootings increased.

"His dad should be held responsible and charged."

Please do not be an idiot. You know nothing for certain how the kid obtained the guns. Perhaps if your locked car was stolen and the thief killed someone with it, you should be jailed?

Think before you write or post your nonsense elsewhere.

What a shock. Who would have thought they would do this? Maybe they should start examining how their policies have turned families away from one another and the damaged education system that creates these monsters. (Whew, I almost said “animals.”)
