So, you're saying that the government is powerless to address the #1 cause of death of America's children? If the GOP believes that is so, their politicians should should resign en masse considering that the #1 job of government is to protect its citizens, something they steadfastly refuse to do. The GOP's proposed solution to this problem, "thoughts and prayers" doesn't appear to be working.

BTW, the root cause of the problem is the number and availability of guns in the US.

No, they should do the right thing even if it costs them their jobs.

They've had decades to do their jobs, but refuse to do it as the resulting death toll mounts. Meanwhile, all they do is offer "thoughts and prayers." The bottom line is that Republicans care more about their guns than they do their children.

Is your most effective form of debate creating straw dogs and putting words in other people's mouths? I ask because you do it all the time. Whenever you start a sentence with "So, you're saying...", what follows is complete BS.

If the #1 job of the government is to protect its citizens, why are folks like you so interested in infringing upon a citizen's right to do so?

But, but, but, won't more guns make us safer?

Um, because it does exactly the opposite? Doh!

Of course, this is all about White Supremacists like you "protecting" yourself from "the other".

Fearing not being able to pass the requirements of the "well regulated" is behind their ignoring the meaning of this part in the 2nd.

Look at just how fast the protecting from Drag Queens and Transgender in schools get done....

Yet where kids are dying crickets!

Drag Queens and Transgenders don't "sponsor" Republican politicians.

According to some of the talking heads over at FAUX news* the problem is side doors in schools.
