Numb for a long, long time.

The lunatics are targeting our babys now?

Pardon me. I would get sick, but I'm too numb.

Gun laws are written at the state level. ALEC writes our nation's state laws. Our legislators don't even read the bills that are handed to them to vote on anymore.

There is no model legislation to stop this from happening again. So it will keep happening. Again and again.

I'm numb.
