The time has come for Mr. President to issue a series of EXECUTIVE ORDER(S) to deal what had sadly become a daily event of murders by some freak with a gun(s)!!

The person kills with the gun that is a piece of metal. That piece of metal needs to be melted down and disposed of countrywide!

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!

Did the school President also tell the students to just keep going to classes, as this was just stuff that happens, a normal thing......as the other school shooting President today did?
