15. I know. I hate that too.

I live near the Oxford high school shooting. They had a piece on our local news tonight interviewing the county sheriff who is always campaigning for something. They asked him how many of these incidents happen with threats of shootings and how often. His response was "every day". How sick of a country do we live in where kids can make threats (I don't care if they're valid threats or not) that they're going to shoot up the school?

In my opinion, this gun fetish culture we now live in should be our #1 priority and issue. Stop pandering to the right wing Republicans and their stupid "Democrats will take your guns away" crapola.
