'Shooting at Alabama birthday party kills 4 people, wounds 28' - When is it Enough?

ENOUGH! I don't see how we go on like this. We need a Nation-Wide March Against Gun Violence or a National Stay At Home Boycott Against Gun Violence. We need to force our country to stop for a day and listen to the silence of all these poor dead people we have lost (my words).

'DADEVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Alabama law enforcement officers Sunday were imploring people to come forward with information about a shooting that killed four people and injured 28 others during a teenager’s birthday party...Among those killed was a high school senior who planned to play college football and was celebrating his sister’s 16th birthday. The shooting erupted Saturday night at a dance studio in downtown Dadeville...

Keenan Cooper, the DJ at the party, told WBMA-TV that the party was stopped briefly when attendees heard someone had a gun. He said people with guns were asked to leave, but no one left. Cooper said when the shooting began some time later, some people took shelter under a table where he was standing, and others ran out.'

The Right doesn't blink at this anymore because their attitude is that there's nothing that can be done because this is the price of freedom.

The only thing that will change the minds of Republican leaders would be if a madman got access to their own children's elite schools and killed some of their own children.

It is an addiction for them, and they will kill for it, even those close to them.
