In 2012 it was 26 in one shooting, Sandy Hook. Last year it was 21 dead and 17 injured at Uvalde.

Yeah, it's a sub set of the massive killing that goes on every year so we should just get over it.

I say FUCK that. I can walk and chew gum. I can care about 8 as well as the other 100,000 people shot.

Justify all ya' want. That whole idea just sucks and sucks a big one.

I generally support the party platform TexasDem69 Sep 2023 #14

I sense a sliding scale here. To 'generally support but' is lack luster support at best. AndyS Sep 2023 #15

I'm still waiting for you to tell me how we make a difference TexasDem69 Sep 2023 #16

Well, being as you finally responded to one of my queries I guess it's only fair. AndyS Sep 2023 #17
