It doesn't say much about the intelligence of the human race that its children are killed by weapons of mass slaughter and it then rewards those that encourage proliferation of those weapons.

This is not surprising...I'd be interested to see recent guns sales (especially AR-15s)
AR 15 are sold out in our area, except from the ones that are over $1000.

Another HS guy was caught making threats about his intentions to shoot at a school and his affection for Columbine and the Parkland school shooter.

He was Baker acted this week.

13 year old Cesar Lopez Baker acted in Polk County!


PCSO: Polk teen Baker Acted, charged after threats to kill teen, shoot up school - News - The Ledger - Lakeland, FL
Polk County sheriff is the opposite from Broward/Coward sheriff Israel and so are Polk Counties police officers.

The NRA exists to increase profits for gun manufacturers by any means possible. Period.

Donations to the NRA -- fundraising by using a mass shooting. Would be nice to see the NRA donate some of that hard earned profit to victims of gun violence. WHAT?!!!!

Not surprising at all, considering the scare tactics about "taking your guns away" and "Abolishing the 2nd amendment" circulating around.

It is the threat posed by the anti-gun lobby that is stirring up fear of a government gun grab. So, who are the fear mongers? They are those who are saying, "We're coming for your guns."
