34. Think about the next 100 school shootings in this country.
Mon Dec 16, 2024, 03:54 PM
Dec 2024

Think of all the children and school staff who are alive today, that will lose their lives in those 100 shootings. Do you imagine those 100 shootings somehow won't happen, given this nation's attitude about firearms access? Given the regime that's about to re-take the White House?

If you have kids, hug them extra tight tonight.
