Dec 16, 2012 by JANET SHAN
NEWTOWN SCHOOL SHOOTING: No-one should be surprised, but should be disgusted, at the fact that all 31 pro-gun rights senatorS in the U.S. senate declined to appear on Meet the Press on Sunday in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre by Adam Lanza that left 26 dead, including 20 children. Heres the tweet from Betsy Fischer Martin:

(115,719 posts)They don't have the guts to stand up and take the heat, do they? It figures. I've always suspected the whole gun-nut culture is basically fear-driven, and it seems that their fear is moral as well as physical. I can't stand these fucking people.
