It really pisses me off that these children are dying due to the ignorance and intolerance of their parents and other adults around them.

Not to be callous, but I really have to wonder what the line is between an acceptable and unacceptable number of child deaths before someone in charge in that state actually does something. Obviously, I know the GOP playbook: the first lawmaker’s kid who dies and suddenly it will be “important,” but assuming that doesn’t happen, what’s the number?
I know of hundreds of school shooting deaths that shows they didn't give a fuck.
That gave a fuck. Did you not see them offering their thoughts and prayers? Besides, the 2nd amendment precludes them from doing literally anything to stop that kind of child death, price of freedom, and all that.
Hey, I think you helped me answer my own question. There is no number. Price of freedom. Thoughts and prayers. Move along.
Cool.
What was the reason they needed guns again? In case of tyranny.........
To shoot the people trying to vaccinate their kids?
To lick the boot of thine oppressor
Makes me sick to think about... 🤮🤢
Keep in mind that there was a gunman that shot at Republicans and no meaningful gun law was passed as a result.
The only thing in my knowledge that has caused gun restriction laws to be placed on the books is Black men arming themselves en masse.
Well yeah, the gun only hurt people. No one died so no change was needed.
