President Donald Trump expressed sadness and heartbreak over the deadly shooting at a high school in Texas on Friday morning.
He spoke for around 90 seconds ahead of planned remarks on prison reform during a summit at the White House.
This has been going on too long in our country. Too many years, too many decades now, the president said of school shootings. He called the Texas incident absolutely horrific.
To the students, families, teachers and personnel at Santa Fe High, were with you in this tragic hour and well be with you forever, Trump said. My administration is determined to do everything in our power to protect our students, secure our schools, and to keep weapons out of the hands of those who pose a threat to themselves and to others.

He doesn't give even the tiniest of shits and neither do any of the other repugs. They just want the russian money from NRA and will do whatever it takes to get it. They don't care that kids are being killed, it's not their kids, they don't go to public schools. They want more guns to be sold, no restrictions of any sort whatsoever, so they can max out the $$ from the gun mfg.
We need a blue wave to wash out their killer supporters and wash in some people who will put in sensible restrictions and stop the mass killings.

They have no empathy or desire to end the gun violence.
