Another school shooting. The shooter is a 14 year old boy with an assault rifle. Another senseless tragedy where American children are again the targets. Maybe now the Republicans will work across the aisle to pass sensible gun laws to protect our children. No chance. They send thoughts and prayers. However, they do suggest that if you see something, you should say something.
Ok, I saw several photos of Republican Legislators posing with their assault rifles making a political statement. How about the family photo of Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles? In this photo, the family is standing in front of their Christmas tree. Mom, dad, their young son and daughter are proudly holding their assault rifles. Their younger child is holding up a Christmas card.
Since I saw something, I guess I will say something when I vote in November. If a candidate has an (R) in front of their name, I will not vote for them.
