The lion's share of the blame for the carniage in America's schools lies, of course, with the NRA, which continues to shamelessly grease the palms of corrupt political whóres (mostly Republicans) in Washington with huge campaign contributions. Those politicians then return the favor by refusing to even consider passing reasonable gun control legislation. Why Americans keep electing politicians who are so willing to turn a blind eye to the wholesale slaughter of their children is beyond me. Every other advanced nation on earth has figured out how to keep tragedies like the Florida massacre from happening. Why the hell can't we? Bottom line...No politician who is not openly for reasonable gun control is getting my vote in 2018. Hopefully more voters than ever will see the light in 2018 and start voting out some of the NRA's stooges in Washington. Sadly, the only thing that seems to get the attention of politicians is the prospect of losing their jobs.

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
Feb 14 2018 5:32pm
PARKLAND, FL—In the hours following a violent rampage in Florida in which a lone attacker killed 17 individuals and seriously injured over a dozen others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Wednesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said Indiana resident Harold Turner, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this individual from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what they really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past eight years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”
