The only group that didn't make a statement or offer sympathy to the families was the NRA

That one fact alone should give you pause if you support them, steel you if you are against them, and make our politicians aware they are nothing more than heartless bastards.

Hiding behind their guns, trying to come up with some kind of spin for this tragedy..

I can only hope that one day, they are silenced forever.

Why did Huckabee rant about God not being in schools and say it is about God nit being first in the hearts and minds of NRA members and gun owners. They are wrong for not spending time and effort in training gun owners an curtailing the rapid firing weapons from be available.
