"criminals are going to be criminals" can't make laws to change behavior... Except banning drag shows and regulating women's bodies and their freedom to travel.
Exactly!!!!!
LOL Feminist moron alert! Stop murdering babies..sluts!

How true
According to the Alt-Right Playbook, they don't believe laws can change behavior, only dictate which ones are punished.
Ahhh yes, living in southeast Florida, I remember the days when our doors front and back were open, the windows were open, and there were no fences or armed school patrols. Our school patrols were from the student body. Brother, have times changed! So sorry students
Once someone has an assault rifle, it wouldn't be hard to shoot the locks off of a side door even if it were locked. What a silly argument.
It wouldn't matter if they had a steel bank vault door, they're a little harder through to shoot than glass windows
They can outlaw Drag Queens, but not Assault weapons, Insane!
Damn those republicans, saying that ugly men in lingerie aren't allowed to show their gaping buttholes to kids anymore! On a related note, why are you so determined to have ugly men in lingerie show their gaping buttholes to kids?
Guns are in the Bible, Drag Queens are not.
It’s not illegal to be a drag Queen. And banning assault rifles are not gonna stop people from getting assault rifles
@@brian2964
Is your "defense rifle" an assault rifle just without the full auto setting?
Then no, you shouldn't be allowed to have it.
@@brian2964 Assault weapons are guns with a certain range and efficiency, not guns purchased to assault people.
It's rich they complained about side doors while showing footage of kids holding hands as they evacuated as a class through, you guessed it, a SIDE DOOR. Limiting the entrances in only limits the evacuation points out.
Seriously. What are they supposed to do in case of a fire?
@@dancepiglover Be thankful for the thoughts and prayers of the republicans for those incinerated children and be grateful that they weren't shot... apparently.
@@ianb9028 Don't worry, the parents of the extra crispy children signed liability wavers.
"Limiting the entrances in only limits the evacuation points out" - And yet that's exactly what Ted Cruz said they should do after Uvalde.. He actually said that all schools should have only one door for entry and exit. I'm sure every first responder across the country loved that idea.
Well why not have steel doors not glass doors. Am I the only one who thinks having a glass side door crazy with all the school shootings. You don't have to limit the exit doors just make them where you can't shoot your way in.
Oh, those nasty, NASTY side doors!!!
America's door problem is out of control 😢
The shooter shot her way through the door. It WAS locked. Some people clearly hear only what they want to hear.
"Guns aren't the problem; people are the problem..." "Then why are we letting the problem have guns?"
Because more of the problem could come with its own guns issued by its own sovereign and terrorize the problem without guns.
Because those “people” have violent tendencies. Even if you get rid of guns, you’re gonna have stabbings
@@mylittlefriend1147 orrrrr..... violent rhetoric combined with irrational paranoia people armed with guns. Unless you think a skirt can kill 50 people from 40 feet away.
Because the genie is already out of the bottle and no one can put it back in. Bad guys already have guns and won’t give them back. We need more good guys with guns.
@Oh Kev yes. Nra pointless talking buzzwords.
I am an Australian who married an American. My son used to love visiting all his American cousins, until they grew up. Then he started getting the gun control doesn't work, socialized medicine doesn't work messages. Having no idea what an "active shooter drill" was or that there were people who didn't have health insurance and just getting the "it just doesn't work" mantra when he lives in a place where it does he just stopped talking to them.
Statistically, America can expect another mass shooting tomorrow. It probably won't be reported just like the people who die because they couldn't afford health insurance won't make the news. What will be reported is that another tax cut for the wealthy is needed to save the economy, that always matters.
It’s weird to watch Crocodile Dundee 2 now and think, “Dundee wouldn’t have that gun now”.
Hello, I’m a Republican lawmaker, and while I’m heartbroken over Monday’s horrific elementary school shooting in Nashville, I’d appreciate it if people would stop asking me to do something to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
I’m a busy person, and there are many important issues I and my colleagues are addressing in our quest to make the world a safe place for children. For example, books. They are often bad. Lawmakers like myself at the local, state and federal level are doing everything we can to make sure dangerous books don’t wind up in the hands of children. Rep. Burchett suggested, we can’t possibly stop school shootings. Rep. Burchett suggested, we can’t possibly stop school shootings. If you are a parent you can well sleep at night because have this guy watching over your children never to be hurt by a book by a gun yes but not a book.
That was brilliant and I'm afraid it's going to r/wooooosh right over a lot of people's heads.

@@Tony-723 name the place. Australia and Japan are gun free zones. Almost no mass shooting happening there.

And p.s. - the shooter got in by shooting out the glass in the FRONT door. I saw the footage.

@@Tony-723 what was the shooter using on children again?
Yeah, my grandfather fought in the Pacific in the 2nd world war too, and he didn't ever need to pose with assault rifles because he new he was a man already. Going to grade school shouldn't be equivalent to fighting in WWII. WTH is wrong with these people?
Gun is compensation for fragile psyche
Kind of a strange opinion (or very dumb) for a gun crazy Republican to use his WWII dad’s argument that you just can’t just do much about it if someone wants to shoot people. I thought their argument was that there need to be more “good people with guns” to stop the bad people with guns. The gun lobby that’s likely legally bribing him must be upset that he didn’t say “My dad who fought in WWII told me that when they got more and better guns… they the good guys did better and better at dealing with those bad guys who wanted to shoot them… Therefore we need to arm our teachers…”
But these politicians aren’t there because they are bright and think politicians duty ought to be to govern responsibly, but to implement anarchy in some areas (guns, the economy and business regulations, their religious freedoms) and tyranny in other areas (literature, women’s bodies, others religious freedoms), and to get well payed from the oligarchs for dong their biddings.
They fought a war to leave Britian instead of doing it peacefully.
Exactly! This kind of thing doesn´t even happen in poor or unstable countries. Every normal society knows the difference between preparing kids for the tough life and giving kids PTSD. "Ukrainian school shooting" isn´t a thing, "Bolivian school shooting" isn´t a thing, "Congolese school shooting" isn´t a thing, "Yemenese school shooting" isn´t a thing, but "American school shooting" is.
Just one word for that monologue: Brilliant.
"I didn't do it, they did." Words of a really great man.
In my country, a murder with a gun sends shock and fear through the nation. In America is just another Monday!!
We have lost more citizens to guns than any country. Yet we have fools think we need no more gun laws!!!! Insane!!

You know… when I was in elementary school in the 90s, nobody would have thought twice about leaving a side door unlocked. The problem ISNT THE DOOR 🤦🏻♀️
I went to high school in Florida (managed to get a decent education through outside study) in classrooms with no air conditioning. The doors had to be open or we would all have passed out from heat exhaustion.
In canada for the same time, we had like 8+ doors into the school.. all unlocked. Our biggest problem was a moose getting in the school.
Yes, the good old days when assault rifles were banned!
@@lizardog yes, the library rocks!
Amen.
I love the "criminals are going to be criminals" line. In an unprecedented honest response, the congressman followed that up with: "By that logic, why have any criminal laws anywhere ever? Why ban murder, rape, theft, crimes against humanity? Criminals are clearly going to break the law. So let's get rid of every criminal statute in this country, on a state and federal level. Except for our ban on people dressing in drag, that needs to stop."
So by your logic is to punish law abiding citizens and take away their right to protect themselves and their families with the best tool out there to do it. I hope someday you or someone you know is put in a position where an AR 15 style weapon could have made the difference
@@BigHunt206 Well, if somebody wants to take you out and doesn't mind losing their life, there's not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it, apparently - AR-15 or no.
@@8tymology Either way, I got my AR and many other guns, at least I wont be completely defenseless and can fight back. May the best man live.
@@BigHunt206 Correct. The logic used here is: criminals will ignore the law, so why have laws?
@@fluxrider7027 Just think of how many people would die, nobody would have anything because soon as you stole it someone steals it from you. Some brother calls you cracker or queer so you blow his head off, that's a beautiful woman so think I will rape her, she has her daughter with her gonna have to pop that one too. This is why we have laws, and this is why there are prisons. Majority of people follow the laws because they agree with them, the difference between right and wrong is simple.
“I didn’t do it! They did it!” said my 4 year old standing next to broken glass 🙄
Close the door!!??!! Did they not see the camera video? The doors were SHOT OUT. They were locked. Wow!

I am so sad he is given so many opportunities to do his part. I hope we are all refreshed by the laughter and inspired to find our role in addressing the challenges our nation must face.
This man and his staff are a cancer. Simple question is, are the people committing the thousands of mass shootings he stated are happening getting the weapons legally? We both know the answer. This cancer of a host is doing nothing but pushing fascist propaganda.
"Criminals will be criminals" is the most Republican line if I ever heard one.
2:15 "It's a horrible, horrible situation, and we're not gonna fix it".
Translation: "The prospect of losing our gun-lobby donations is a horrible, horrible situation, so we're not gonna fix it".
And they are afraid if they support legislation outlawing assault rifles, the gun lobby will fund a pro gun candidate to run against them in the next election and they will lose their cushy do nothing job.
I don't think it's the donations. I think the gun lobby has a threat that, "If you vote against our products, we will pour unlimited money into whoever runs against you".
He also said his child is home schooled so not his problem.
The untranslated quote, exactly as he said it, is far worse. Him saying "It's a horrible, horrible situation, and we're not gonna fix it" is literally him saying that they don't CARE enough to even ATTEMPT to fix it. It's not a fact that was hidden, but it is kind of nice to see them come right out and finally admit it.
Isn’t it interesting that We have to practically get undressed to get on the plane to ensure that there are no weapons or bombs. Since we’ve had these laws, the number of terrorist attacks on planes has dropped drastically. If we can have those laws, we can ban assault weapons.
Republicans would never allow a gun ban, unless we give some compromise. Maybe we make a law where trans people can't own guns. Both sides would be happy with that.
No such thing as assault weapons. If you mean automatic rifles, we'll guess what, those have been essentially banned for a really long time. When will people start knowing this? Stop listening to the media.
It won't ban shit, you want to ban guns to bring dictators to power and facilitate muslim terrorists in America.
you cretins didn't take away our firearms.
THIS RIGHT HERE!
"I don't have the right to do that. There's nothing wrong with it. I don't have a lot of time, but I would have the right to do that. I would do that."

Fun fact: If you have a high powered rifle, a door lock isn't exactly going to be an impediment...
And it wasn't!
It actually is. A locked door with a firearm is a pretty big impediment and gives people a lot more time to react
Big TV and movie myth. You need a breaching shotgun to properly blow through a lock. Bullets alone really won’t magically open a door lock. You need to stop and think about what the design of a lock is, and how much damage a bullet can really cause. Their wounds are piercing, not explosive and destructive.
@@theonlythingihavetosayis9333 There is a CCTV video from the school showing the shooter using her gun to blast through the locked door at the school.
@@theonlythingihavetosayis9333Didn't this shooter get in the school by shooting the door?
You have some wonderful viewers here. I spent way too long reading the comments, and I am so happy to have not seen a single transphobic one out of the probably 200 I read. Everyone is focused on the actual problem rather than scapegoating an entire community of people. It really shows the stark difference between the two main groups of citizens in the US. One side is about keeping people safe, while the other is about harming people. Sending love to the ones who want to see peace and safety. Hug your kids tight and tell them you love them.
The person shot through 2 sets of LOCKED doors to get in. Locks don't stop bullets, but sadly people's bodies do.
I love how Stephen always brings this issue up! ❤
Any congressman or individual in power who could care less about the death of innocent lives and care more about their position, does not deserve to be in power putting down laws allowing these psychopaths to roam free pulling the trigger on your children. They need to be removed from their position.
That would be more than half of people in DC. You know what also sucks? People voted for these people and will do it again.
All elections are important. Many stay home from the "Dog Catcher" elections. Elections have consequences. Just look at Florida.

Doors, windows, test tubes - make em all of good Old Testament brick.
Because anything less would amount to victimising AR15s. It's not their
fault they're so well suited to shattering glass. It's the fault of bad, gun-
hating glass installers and their shadowy Soros-funded cliques.
It was a side door, that part was accurate. She shot through the glass on a side door and opened it from the inside. Pretty basic actually, breaking glass to unlock doors has been happened since we had both glass and doors.
Why wasn’t there an armed teacher guarding the door? Why didn’t the entryway have a man-trap installed, to catch the shooter and detain them til the police arrive? I mean, other than the fact that those ideas are insane? No sane society would consider arming school teachers, or blaming the existence of side doors.

Stephen and writers are 🔥🔥🔥
"I didn't do it. They did it."😅😅😅
Assault weapon bans do work. Look what we did in Australia after the brutal massacre at Port Arthur. It was a terrible event that shocked the nation, so we turned in the guns we didn't need to hunt with (a .303 was all they needed anyhow). We stopped it at 35 dead, not let it snowball into thousands. Sure, there was some incidents, but they were few and far between! Not 130 times in a year. New Zealand did something similar in recent memory, as you know.
When I brought this up before here, some ignorant commenter told me we were doing it wrong. That criminalizing guns meant only criminals will have guns! No, no, no. Criminals very rarely have guns, because they either can't get them, or fail the background checks to get one. You are wrong, plain and simple. Security lights and footage stop home invasions just as much, and don't give you blood on your hands afterward.
Guns are good for murder. Nothing else!
Australian never banned self loading magazine feed rifles. We have a licence and registration system. Those who have a need for such fire arms: eg, agriculture, vermin clearing can seek a licence for such a fire arm.
What has happened to the crime rate in Australia? What has happened to the rate of violent crime against women and the elderly? I'll wait.
@@stoopidpursun8140 that is a good question. The incidence of police reports of crimes of violence against women and children has increased. We consider this a public policy success . A few generations ago Police and competent agencies down played such: there was less reporting. We set out to change this. This has been effective. Eg, in the city of Melbourne in the 1970s about 40 women and children were killed by family members. This is now about 15-25 with the cities population doubling. Mind you most of the decline in deaths has been due to advances in medical science. But some due to law reform, better interagency cooperation, support services. One problem is that we actually make little effort to measure violent crimes in society. I assume you'll understand that Police reports are not a good indication of such. Ie, reports can go up so enable violence to be prevented. In the USA there is a Federal law that Govt agencies can not research fire arm violence. If you do nothing else: perhaps change that weird law
PS crimes against older persons have always been low. They continue to decline.
@@brian2964 that is a valid observation. Australian had a long and gradual decline of gun violence and violence in general from 1900. It is average compared with most Western countries. Re: firearms we have had licencing and registration from at least 1920s. Unlike the USA we have never allowed just anyone to buy a firearm. Like motor vehicles we have required folk to be licenced. So gun deaths were already declining before we change registration/licencing laws about self loading magazine feed rifles in 1990s. We can still acquire such fire arms if you have a valid licence
@@brian2964 I suspect they don't. I mean we have a culture where universal health insurance, helping homeless a bit, paying some taxes etc. So we also have fire arm registration and such. But if you have a Bugger-U-Jack and feel thousands of nuclear bombs isn't enough. I mean law reform is a bit of the cart before the horse. The Yanks more need a public scheme of free small white confines to any child shot to death. But they're never do that.
And we still have folk shooting each other: just not as often
It's really a simple math, less gun less shooting. It works around the world.

Sure, 'a criminal will do whatever they want' can apply to guns, but have these bozos considered the same can be said for those doors they're so sure is the real problem? If a criminal's intent on shooting young, innocent lives, a door won't stop them. I'd imagine it'd be harder without the machine that can shoot through the glass or locks.
Yes. one news report said they shot the door lock to enter.
Exactly 💯
@Kat Song Folks, the shooter used the rifles' automatic capability to shoot multiple rounds to blow out the doors. It appears Stephen didn't see the video.
@@SatansDonkey666 Well said! I think we need to heavily control who should and should not be allowed to drive a car.
You should have to have at last 10 lessons before passing a test (maybe even ,more dependant on the competence of the person). You should need a license that is paid for and that expires after a few years. You should have to prove that you are medically fit. You should have to pay insurance for any damage you could do with that car.
Yeah, ok, you could argue that a car has a primary purpose other than killing and that it is integral for some people's daily lives. Fine. I accept that argument but they're too dangerous. We need more car legislature!
@satans donkey I'm sorry to be rude, but are you an idiot?
Do you want to know what will stop people from hot wiring a semi, building a bomb, or creating a poison gas grenade?
The fact that those things are far harder than swiping your credit card at Wal-Mart to buy an assault rifle and a thousand rounds of hollow point ammo. We make it so easy to get a gun that can kill hundreds, it is insanity. There is no comparison
I graduated from high school in 1970 and the biggest problems we had in school then were girls' skirts being considered too short (we had to wear either skirts or dresses), and boys' hair being too long and their shirt tails being tucked in.
Edit: And, in elementary school, our biggest problem was wondering if any parents would donate fans for the classrooms as our schools weren't airconditioned and we were in the deep south. We did have evacuation drills during the Cuban Missile Crisis however while I was in elementary school but most of us had no concept of what it meant to our lives nor did we ever experience fear and terror of an invasion of our school or the loss of a classmate or teacher to gun violence.

@@JKGuitarPro Sorry but Assault style guns were NOT on the market for public consumption until AFTER the NRA got into bed with the gun manufacturers. That style gun was ONLY used in the Viet Nam war by military personnel until AFTER the war was ended. Not one civilian was clamoring for such a gun until gun manufacturers started advertising it and NRA backing them. Gun violence by mass shootings BEGAN in earnest AFTER the sale of such guns came onto the market. You seem very uninformed.
@@rhondah1587 sorry but literally everything you just said is all wrong. I can’t even begin to fathom where any of that came from. Did you just make all that up off the top of your head? Quite an imagination you have. Again, you’ll have to do better and get informed.
@@JKGuitarPro Your uninformed opinion is just that. I'm 70 years old and I was a member of the NRA until 1969. I know what I speak of. You don't. You literally have no valid information on the subject.
GOP: "We're going to criminalize drag shows, women's right to healthcare, and bow to the almighty gun, no matter how many children get slaughtered by them."
So much for being pro-life.
Abortions kill fetuses. Rages on.
Another three kids killed in school shooting. Crickets.
400 million plus armed citizens and maybe a couple hundred of them lose there mind and kill.
So it’s the GOP’s fault that they pissed off the trans community that they are picking up guns to slaughter kids to prove a point?
Gun Free Zones is not being Pro-Life either.
Driving a SUV through a Christmas Parade killing 6 and inuring 62 other's is not being Pro-Life either.
Open Borders with a major inflow of Fentanyl is not being Pro-Life either.
"criminals are going to be criminals", but one FAILED bombing attempt, and we've been taking our shoes off in the airport ever since.
Sending kids to school in the USA is like forcing them to play Russian roulette!
Just another way Republicans Russianize the US!
Except even in Russian Roulette the gun only has one bullet,so better odds of surviving than attending a school in the United States.

Yep. 1 bullet and like 100 empty slots. But by god will the republicans do everything they can to ADD bullets because it'll be "safer". :(

Thank you, for being so brave to speak out against this insanity.
I have to say I must admire the editing in that video of the congressman saying that nothing was going to be done. The way they were able to edit out the NRA ventriloquist standing right beside their GOP puppet was top notch.

Sick place in so many ways. Here in Japan we had 5 dead from guns (one being a corrupt former PM killed with a home-made gun). That is in a population of 125 million. And, yes, hunters can get guns. My neighbor has two guns to hunt wild boar. But we can't have guns of war and we can't have handguns. And hunters and sportsmen must go through strict background checks including mental health checks. Sanity is not all that hard as a policy. We also have national health, btw.
Yeah, similar here in Czechia, Europe. We´re allowed to carry handguns after passing tests, and we´re much less respectful and disciplined than you Japanese, but we´ve still only had 2 mass shootings in the last 50 years. Ban on assault weapons and psychological tests are the key 🙂
In the US guns are a billion dollar industry that supports gun rights candidates in conservative districts. Nothing will change until a mass shooting occurs at a posh Washington DC boarding school and even then they’ll do as little as possible. Money talks.
It amazes me that our politicians cannot see the problem with clarity of someone from a truly civilized culture. The whole glorification of the cowboy and his six guns has come back to bite the U.S. in the butt.
I understand there are restrictions on ammunition, as well.
More or less the same in France.
Even locking the door won't work, this kid used his machine gun to shoot all the windows out of the glass in the door in the door in order to climb through.
That line from Burchett @2:15 would be the nail in the coffin for any politician in most of the country. Let's Hope Tennessee voters don't feel the same way Burchett does next election cycle.
The "side door" argument is particularly ironic when one views the security cam footage that shows the shooter blasted through the glass doors at the front of the school.
Just let it sink in. 130 MASS SHOOTING in 80+ days... So glad I no longer live there.
Same. 🇪🇺

Thank you Stephen. Great monologue, as always!
Wonderful segment mr Collbert just fabulous!!!I had a bad day at work yesterday you always make me feel better and laugh especially about the reality of the crazy news
Wow, Colbert was on a fantastic roll! Loved it!
Tim Burchett didn't say that the problem of mass shootings _can't_ be fixed, he said that the Republicans _won't_ fix it. That's the most honest answer a Republican has ever given when asked about mass shootings.
He also said there's not a lot you can do if someone wants to take you out.
Ok, then why do you all trumpers have to own guns then if they are useless according to what you just said?
So the big message here from the trump cult is: "We can't stop shooters unless we ban ....
...side doors."
Ya gotta admit, for all their faults, you certainly get your money's worth when you buy a republican congressperson. Especially if you're the NRA. But then again I think republicans give them a discount for buying all of them. Like a bundle, you know?

Dear Fox news..... Australian here - we have bans on assault weapons and strict regulations on use and carrying of firearms but... plenty of side doors.
Explain that !
When asked about the safety of his daughter in school Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett's response was "my daughter's home schooled".
That's not even a "Let them eat cake" argument, it's a "I don't care if they don't have bread - I eat cake every day"
Same as it ever was.
WOW. Did not know that. Thanks. Hopefully, his daughter doesn't go to church, a temple, a synagogue, a movie theater, a country music concert, a grocery store, a big box store, a shopping mall, a pop concert, a military base, a university/ college, post office, a workplace or even her own home.
wow... the audacity can't get any more clear... wow how do people look at this person and say "he deserves his money and power"
Wow, that is unbelievable - such contempt for other people. My daughter is fine, so whatever.... SMH...🤔
That is what the Let them eat cake argument is. She was so used to eating cake everyday, she could not understand why everyone else wouldt just buy cake. Completely disconnected from reality that they cannot afford bread
I like how they were yelling "Lock the doors! Period!" But uh.. the doors were locked.. The shooter used automatic rifles to shoot through the glass. I guess the solution here is to also removed the windows as well as the doors.
Lots of US citizens seems so dumb and loud. The ones with brains are shouted down by the ignorant.
Elementary isn't supposed to be like WW2, fully support.

Someone should tell Fox and friends that limiting escape routes makes it easier for the bad people to do their thing.
These people never understood the term "fire hazard"
It’s an excuse for them to use, while ignoring the real problems…. The producers have meetings before each show on how to spin away from the real cause and use a substitute reason…. It’s fabricated same way they did with promoting the election lies!!!
This exact thing was bought up a year or two ago. Some idiot on fox unironically proposed there only be one way in and one way out. Even without fire hazards, it's next level stupid.
"Alright kids, the only way out of the building is through that door where the shooter is at. On the count of 3, we all run for the door. 1... 2..."
And more difficult for the police to enter the building.
In the Army we called it a Kill Zone.
Thank god for Tim Burchett, I'm from Florida, he almost makes our congressmen look not as stupid as they are.

Addendum, anyone who sells a gun should experience what it feels like to be shot

Yes, ban assault Weapons!
I'm so heartbroken to learn that side doors are disproportionately committing the most violent crimes in our country.
Maybe they are acting out because they just aren't getting enough attention. I bet their home life involves an intimidating front door that is always 'out there' and gets all the physical conntact, while the side door is neglected.
no. side doors really are "trans"-sitional front doors... that's what makes them 3vil...

The latest shooting .the murderer had legally bought eight guns despite being under the watch of mental professionals.
So the background checks have clearly not worked it is not enough .however removing guns would logically diminish gun deaths drastically
@@julianwaugh8221 You have come up with some law that will remove all guns from the entire planet and prevent any new ones from being made? Please explain.
The side door of the school was locked and the shooter shot the lock.
She shot out the windows in the door
So how do you stop criminals without guns? What alternative?
Hit them with a bat? Pepper spray? Backpacks? (That was used in a Denmark school knife attack, and as a result, no one was hurt) Loads of other options that don't involve killing someone? And don't try to argue about that; rule number 2 of gun safety is to only point a gun at something you intend to kill.
Here in the UK we had a mass shooting at Hungerford on 19 August 1987, assault weapons were banned - not been a repeat. On 13 March 1996 there was a school shooting in Dunblane, handgun ownership was severely restricted - not been a repeat. 130 school shootings in 87 days is obscene.
Not doing anything is a dereliction of duty. True that!
Just a quick suggestion. When you name a Congress person saying something stupid (Burchet), say what state and district they are from so that people paying attention can vote them out
That dirt bag is from Tennessee and went on to explain that His daughter is home schooled so these school shootings are really not a problem for Him! He's just awful.
If they had been paying attention in the first place, he should never have been elected. Unlikely they're watching Steven.
