How Many Dead Children Are Worth A seat In D.C?

    How many dead children are worth a seat in D.C.? Wake up Republicans ! Americans are angry, and you as lawmakers should be angry as well. This past week 19 children, and two adults were shot and killed in yet another mass shooting, and the majority of Republican lawmakers are still against a ban on semi-automatic and automatic weapons . What will it take? What will it take for Republicans to wake up and decide to work with Democrats? It takes just as much energy to fight Democrats as it does to work with them. The nation is weeping. The nation is weeping and the nation is begging for help. The nation is begging our lawmakers to take action and vote for change . The Republicans blame mental illness for mass shootings, well perhaps Republicans should take a good look in the mirror. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Well, Republicans are doing just that. Republicans refuse to pass more restrictive gun laws and the United States continues to have mass shootings . Shocker, our current gun laws or lack thereof aren't working.  

    Wake up Republicans! Nineteen children were killed this past week. Perhaps Republicans need one to be morbid and blunt. Nineteen children died alone on a cold school floor. Nineteen children were shot in cold blood . Nineteen children were either left beyond recognition or left to bleed out . Those that bled out, suffered miserably. These were babies, babies, and all Republicans can do is argue their 2nd amendment right. Seriously? What in hell is wrong with the majority of our Republican lawmakers today? Nineteen children 10 and under were massacred right in front of their classmates. Some classmates dialed 911 and begged for help. The 911 operator was told 8-9 children were still alive. The local authorities failed to act. They failed to act, and 19 children and two adults died. No one can begin to imagine what those children and teachers went through last week. No one. No one can imagine the terror, the fear, and the pain that was inflicted on those that were killed, injured, or those that survived. No one can imagine the pain of the loved ones that are now burying their children. No one can imagine, but those that have been victims themselves  or who have lost loved ones in a mass shooting. Then again, sadly there are many people who can empathize with the victims' families, and survivors of the Uvalde, Texas massacre. To date, there have been 214 mass shootings this year in the U.S. Twenty-seven of them have been school shootings, and more than 17,300 people have lost their lives in mass shootings . Wake up Republicans, wake up!

    How many dead children are worth a seat in D.C.? What will it take for Republicans to do their jobs and reach across the aisle and work with Democrats as so Americans can again feel safe? At present, many Americans today are afraid to send their children off to school, and for good reason. At present, many Americans have stopped going to church for fear of being caught in a mass shooting. At present,  many Americans are fearful just going to a supermarket for fear of being shot. At present, a good many Americans have stopped attending sports events , concerts, plays, and so forth. I myself, stopped going to movie theaters some time ago as I have often thought a movie theatre to be unsafe in today's America. As it turns out, I am not alone. I am also not alone in that I no longer feel safe going to a shopping mall. If I need something, I go in and out as quickly as possible. I no longer leisurely stroll through the local mall and browse and shop. I feel it's unsafe, and that is the America we live in today. We live in an unsafe America. What will it take? 

     What will take for Republicans to come around and admit that this nation is in desperate need of gun reform? God knows it hasn't taken 214 mass shootings this year taking place in a nation that has more guns than people. God knows, it didn't even take 19 small children being killed this past week. What will it take? The former president, Donald Trump made an appearance at this week's NRA convention. He certainly wasn't going to miss a moment to stand his ground on the right to bear arms and do his onstage jiggle only moments after speaking briefly about the slain children.  Republican Senator Ted Cruz  also went proudly to the NRA convention. Ted Cruz firmly stood his ground on not being for gun reform,  or a ban on assault weapons. Ted Cruz mouthed off that what was better than a bad guy with a gun, was a good guy with a gun. Well Ted, 19 good guys did have guns the other day, and they did nothing. Nothing is what 19 local police officers with guns did, nothing. For 77 minutes while children were being terrorized, shot, killed, and bleeding out, the local authorities did absolutely nothing. Well they did do something. The local authorities did nothing to help the children, but they did taser, spray mace, and handcuff parents that desperately tried to run in and help their children. Apparently, they did nothing as they were told to stand down by their supervisor due to not having the right protective gear. That being said Ted, if 19 good guys didn't have the right gear to go up against a bad guy with an AR-15, then why in hell is any average American citizen allowed to buy an AR-15? Let me add that in war, soldiers are given emergency care as so they can prevent the wounded from bleeding out by trained individuals. These poor children didn't have access to emergency care, these poor children just bled out.  What say you Ted?What say you? The fact is, you and Governor Abbott of Texas haven't got a leg to stand on in your defense of not passing more restrictive gun laws. Oh, you'll have to forgive me, the Governor can't stand. What will it take? 

  What will it take for Republicans to go back to Washington and pass a bill to ban all automatic and semi-automatic weapons that were meant not for sport, but were meant for use by the military? The inventor of the AR-15 himself never used the weapon for sport, he never brought the weapon home. The AR-15 was meant for the military. No American needs an AR-15 or any weapon similar to defend their families and themselves. No American needs a weapon that can kill multiple people in a short amount of time. If an American wants an AK-47 or AR-15 I know he or she can get several. I suggest that those Americans wanting a military weapon join the army.  In the army they can have as many automatic weapons as they please, but they will have to pass a substantive mental stability/personality test first. What will it take? 

   What will it take for republicans to wake the flip up and decide they should do their jobs and vote for more restrictive gun laws for the better of this once great nation? If 19 children and two adults dying a horrific death due to a mass shooting, can't change the minds of Republican lawmakers,  I fear nothing will change the minds of those Republicans not wanting to pass more restrictive gun laws. What will it take? Is having millions of  NRA dollars put into the campaigns of Republicans worth the lives of now close to 2000 Americans that have lost their loves this past year ? Is being re-elected worth selling one's soul? How many dead children are worth a seat in the senate or house? How many dead grandmothers and grandfathers are worth a seat in Washington? How many dead Americans will it take for Republicans to say enough is enough? Make America great again Republicans ? How about make America safe again? Republicans, the nation is weeping, the nation is mourning, the nation is in distress. What will it take Republicans ?

What Are We Doing? Nothing!


 "What are we doing? There Are more mass shootings than days in the year."-Sen. Chris Murphy Ct.

     Yesterday, in a powerful speech on the senate floor just after yet another mass shooting, Senator Chris Murphy asked, what are we doing? Nothing! Sadly, much about nothing is what Washington has done regarding gun control or lack thereof gun control. Nothing. Nothing because Republicans would rather do nothing than piss off the NRA, gun toting voters, and the lobbyists. Nothing, because money and votes are more important than lives. Even the lives of small children. Almost 10 years ago 26 people were tragically killed by a 20 year olden Sandyhook, Connecticut.  Twenty were children between the ages of 6 and 7 years old and 6 were adults. Yesterday, at a Texas elementary school 19 children and two adults were killed. What are we doing ? Yes, Mr. Senator ,I and Millions of Americans would love to ask those Republican lawmakers against passing more strict gun control laws, what are you doing? 

     Nothing is what the Senate has done and continues to do. Despite almost 90% of Americans asking for more thorough and strict background checks and gun control laws , the Senate does nothing! I and millions of Americans would love to know just what in hell are our lawmakers in Washington doing. While I wouldn't wish the loss of a child on anyone, I can't help, but wonder if Senator Ted Cruz would support restrictive gun laws if one of his children were tragically killed at school. For that matter, I'd like to ask every Republican against restrictive gun laws just what are you doing and what would it take for you to do something? Perhaps if it were the grandmother of a Republican lawmaker that were gunned down at the grocery school in Buffalo, New York, Republicans would do something. Sadly, Republicans continue to play political games and innocent lives are lost. What are you doing in Washington?

      How many more mass shootings will it take before Republicans actually decide to do something regarding gun control? How many more innocent lives will be lost before Republicans do something, anything? How many Americans will suffer the loss of a child, mother, father, sister or brother before Republicans decide to take action as to protect the lives of Americans ? Americans voted for lawmakers to go to Washington and work to protect their rights and their lives. Americans voted for lawmakers because they had faith that they would do the right thing for the people of this once great nation that's now fallen from grace. Yes, Senator Murphy, what are your fellow senators doing in Washington? Nothing Mr. Senator. Nothing.
