The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported that the AR-15 used allegedly used in the shooting was legally purchased by Cruz, who had been kicked out of the school and flagged as a threat.

1. Congress couldn't find "moral obligations" if they were sitting on GOPers' noses.

There is only money. Talk to GOPers about how much money they'll get for a vote, and you have active listeners.

2. A note sent to Marco Rubio:

After the latest school shooting in your state, how does that $3,000,000 you received from the NRA feel now? Right now?

3. First, GOP congressmen need morals.

Their only "moral" code is "how much money do I get out of it. Campaigns are expensive, you know"

"A moral what's-a?

6. Forget about anything being enacted by the Repukes.....I've been around

Now I'm sorry I volunteered time of my life in the service(Navy) for this dumb population that still continues to sink in their own shit and doesn't
even realize it!
