“What are we doing?” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) asked in a powerful speech on the Senate floor just after Tuesday’s horrific slaughter of innocents at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, the deadliest such attack since the Sandy Hook massacre in Connecticut nearly a decade ago.
Murphy continued: “There are more mass shootings than days in the year. Our kids are living in fear every single time they set foot in a classroom because they think they are going to be next. What are we doing? Why do you spend all this time running for the United Staes Senate, why do you go through all the hassle of getting this job, of putting yourself into a position of authority, if your answer as this slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives, we do nothing? What are we doing? Why are you here, if not to solve to solve a problem as existential as this? This isn’t inevitable. These kids weren’t unlucky. This only happens in this country, and nowhere else. Nowhere else do little kids go to school thinking that they might be shot that day.”
Who’s this windbag? Politician. Elitist. Tax drain. Public welfare recipient. Bla bla bla bla bla bla. Talk talk talk. Put on a mask. Get your vaccines. Study CRT. You’re a racist. Get rid of your plastic bags. Keep your air conditioner on at 78 degrees, when it’s 90 outside. Pay reparations. Take off your socks when you pass thru TSA. Raise taxes. Bla bla bla. Do as I say not as I do. Privileged white elitist pigs.
Do we work for the government or does the government work for us?
Never ceases to amaze how people like that Democrat ignore the obvious. Seems rater obvious that as long as these Democrats and their media foot soldiers keep on vilifying the country as racist etc and vilifying the alleged “white privilege” and “Black (or Hispanic) face of white supremacy” etc and demand burning down the country to the ground “rebuild better”, that these mental cases will keep on coming out of the woodwork in response/
Our kids are living in fear every single time they set foot in a classroom because they think they are going to be next. What are we doing?
My kids are a lot more scared about walking down certain streets than they are of setting foot in a classroom.
What is being done about that?
This only happens in this country, and nowhere else.
How do such ignorant people or outright liars get into the senate?
There are plenty of school shootings in other countries.
Completely false
These shootings are certainly not happening in all other countries. Check every statistic. The rest of the world, even third world countries, shake their heads in wonder
do a google search on “school shootings in other countries” and you will see how completely your belief is.
Is it true that they are less than in the US
There are school shootings in other countries. Perhaps not as many as the US but claiming it only happens in the US and nowhere else is pure baloney
Typical socialist! You can make all of you want somebody doesn’t want to keep the laws, whatever lawyer you make isn’t going to help. No law on the books no matter how much punishment this person would have gotten or should get, made him not do what he did. The only thing that would have stopped him would have been other people carrying guns. The minute he would have pulled out his gun, others would have just blown him to smithereens, which is exactly SHOULD have happened!
So all laws should be abolished then.
gun control works everywhere else
Fuss the straight jacket. It might be the only thing we should see these criminals in.
Would that work?
Of course, destroying the country in every other way is, in their view, not “existential” and not a cause to question as to what he and his friends are doing there.
So what is Merrick Garland going to do about it?
Wake up
you guys are a bunch of ditto heads
Everything absolutely in terms of security this district had and still happened
sorry guys
gun control is necessary
How do you
feel safe for your children
Its alright to be conservative and still acknowledge many things about the GOP are out of whack and must be dealt with
Another Democrat windbag blowing the same hot air again. Just look at what his lefty woke party is doing to this country and you will have the answer to just about all the domestic issues we are having. Banning guns by law will not help since there are millions of guns out there and criminal don’t follow any laws. Chicago has the same amount of shootings/killings every week as just happened in Texas and Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. How about that, you Democrat windbags? Do you have a legitimate answer to that question? No. Of course not. Lets just keep on passing bail reform to let criminals back on our streets. Lets ignore the signs of a sick individual that is about to commit some horrible crime and after it happens again we are all subject to the same hot air Democrats and their same speeches over and over again.
Idiots. Legally this killer couldn’t even buy a beer. But a automatic rifle he is allowed to buy, this is normal?
