Now, I'm simply angry. I don't want "thoughts and prayers." I don't want to wait for perfect answers. I want something to be done.

We are surely not so stupid and cold-hearted in the country that this can be accepted as normal.

Being numb is part of the problem. If we're numb we don't fight back.

Don't be numb, be angry. When a politician asks for your vote for Congress or the state legislature, ask him/her for a position on common sense gun control - and insist on a real answer.

I’m a mom. Every single time these things happen it rips out a piece of my soul imagining the hell those kids have to endure during and for the rest of their lives after.

I’m so damn weary of people ignoring these horrific tragedies!
