Sunday

When one of our two biggest political parties
endorses and allows this slaughter of our children to continue with their full throated support of the gun lobby so that they may continue to finance their reelection campaigns.
I know we keep repeating ourselves on this subject here at DU but I just don’t know what else to say anymore.
Thoughts and prayers just don’t mean shit when you believe your right to own a firearm
trumps the very right of others to live.🫩😔
