How could such a tragedy happen after the last time that Congress did absolutely nothing to prevent it ?

I muted Trump this morning, because it's such utter [b]bs[/b]. [b]They don't give a damn.[/b] They're saying the same crap [b]every single time it happens[/b] and then they [b]block[/b] any legislation that could possibly [b]stop[/b] it from happening, while making excuses about "gun control contributing to mass shootings". [b]That[/b] was proven a lie in [b]Nevada[/b], a state with virtually NO gun control. And with yesterday, how many shootings have there been in the great "Stand Your Ground" state of Florida ? Trump, the gun lobby and NRA supporters can freaking [b]keep[/b] their "prayers and sympathy"---[b]they obviously don't mean a word of it[/b]. 😞

@bijouxbroussard Very sadly true, my friend.

@bijouxbroussard He could have gone a long way if he just started his speech by saying [b]He was sorry[/b] and more importantly, by saying [quote]What happened was just WRONG[/quote]

@bijouxbroussard
when the shooter is a kid it makes me even sadder... Because I get conflicting feelings towards him.. hate and angry feelings for wasting innocent lives but also sad feelings that the adults surrounding him didn't do their job.

@BittersweetPotato And he bought the gun legally. That’s the thing. He passed the background check. Another thing; the police took him in alive. The same police who “fear for their lives” when they encounter unarmed black people at traffic stops had no trouble bringing in a kid who’d just murdered 17 people, without harming a hair on his head. Surreal.

@bijouxbroussard And apparently the shooter left a comment on YouTube earlier saying that he wanted to be a "professional school shooter" and the FBI could not reach the identity of the person who commented! You would think the FBI has more capabilities than that! He commented under the same name, It only makes me wonder whether they've given it any importance.. I mean had it been the case, the 17 people would be alive today, specially with all the school shootings that have been taking place, you would think they'd keep their eyes wide open for such indications of more possible shootings.
