Stephan:   I am going to make this short and to the point. I've had enough. As you have probably heard throughout the day there is no other country on earth that has the kind of non-military gun murders and school shootings that occur regularly, almost routinely in the United States. The families hadn't even buried all the dead from the Buffalo massacre when the Uvalde, Texas massacre happened. Why is this occurring? Everyone knows the answer. The weapons corporations rent the whores in the Republican Party and make sure they will not vote on anything that restricts guns in this country. If you vote for a Republican you are voting for more racist Buffalo massacres, and more Uvalde child killings. Is that clear enough for you? Vote Republican and you are voting for random gun death.

A shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, that has killed 19 children and two adults marks the 27th school shooting this year. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the shooter behind Tuesday’s incident was killed.

This comes just 10 days after a shooting at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y., that took the lives of 10 people.

Education Week has been tracking school shootings since 2018. According to its database, 119 such incidents have taken place since then.

There were 27 school shootings with injuries or deaths this year.

The organization tracks shootings where a firearm was discharged and where any person (other than the suspect) has a bullet wound resulting from the incident. Education Week also includes only incidents that happen on a K-12 school property or on a school bus and that occur when school is in session or during a school-sponsored event.

It doesn’t track cases in which the only shots fired were from a school resource officer or police officer.

The U.S. has surpassed 200 […]

    Who’s going to protect us, the police? That is not possible because there are more many more guns in America than there are people. What we have to do is get out of the influence of the NRA and the “gun lobby” which keeps making more guns and more money doing it. We need less guns, and we need to get rid of them NOW. We have to change the Constitution to get rid of the ability of anyone to get guns. Handguns have no place in this country, like they used to in the old “wild west” days. Now they are just a threat to everyone, and anyone can get their hands on a gun. It is horrible! Let’s do the right thing to protect not just children but everyone. LET’S GET RID OF ALL HANDGUNS !
