The killing goes on….



More than 33,000 Americans have died from gunshot wounds in the year since a crazy man with several guns killed 20 first graders and six school staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

The shooter fired 155 shots in about five minutes, and then killed himself.

Nationwide, there have been 25 additional shooting incidents at schools, with 18 dead and 25 wounded. There was another one yesterday in Colorado.

Shame on members of Congress, who have done nothing to curb gun violence and restrict the availability of automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Shame on them.


I'd wish that every member of Congress should spend some time in a first-grade classroom at the Sandy Hook school, but that's not possible now—the school has been demolished.

Members of Congress can stop whatever they're doing today at 9:30 am and count to 26….and if they start sobbing, they can use their fingers….

  1. Yelp and in a budget that has about 1 billion dollars for a crappy website not counting the billions to promote Obamacare, there is only a sliver of money for mental health...is there something wrong with this picture?

    1. I'm really sick of the obfuscatory argument that we have to "cure" mental illness instead of limiting access to automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines. Let's make it illegal for most people to own these deadly weapons, and help to stop goofballs and angry relatives and crazy people from using guns to kill friends, neighbors and strangers.
