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.
