Three nine year old children are dead. Can we please do something about guns and mental health other than offering "thoughts and prayers"? Another in a long line of senseless murders that could have been prevented. I fear we are all becoming numb and indifferent to shootings like this. We should not and cannot accept this as being just part of life or normal now.

(15,343 posts)their logic - protection from the over baring Federal Government who wants to take your guns away which they consider is their gawd given right.
If you or your love one dies it's faith. These people are seriously sick.
All the while gun manufactures, NRA, GQPs make tons of money, and when there are massacres, it obviously not the gun's fault.
