Why do we have to BEG our legislators to protect our children?

[Ferrets are Cool]

I know it's a rhetorical question, but FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why?

[dchill]

1. They're NOT OUR legislators. That's why.

They all represent Xtian NRA Putin.

[Snarkoleptic]

2. Because SCOTUS decided moneyfree speech.

What the majority of Americans want is secondary to what the moneyed interests want.

[IcyPeas]

3. Sen. Chris Murphy literally did beg...

4. Because GOTV isn't happening like it should. nt

[roamer65]

5. Because we don't even have the best legislators money can buy anymore.

Cynical, but true. IMO.

6. want protection money for our Supreme clown.s !

the more republican's we dump , the better protection law's we can ram through & have a better government !

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

7. Because they are OUR children.

Not THEIR children.

If there was a mass school shooting at Sidwell Friends, St. Albans or Georgetown Day School (Private, elite schools where wealthy white congressmen and lobbyists in DC send their children), where two dozen children/teachers were decapitated or had to be identified only with DNA from parents, THEN you'd see some goddam gun safety laws passed.

8. because repuke loves their guns more than they care about kids

that is a FACT

9. +1,000,000,000,000...

[Demobrat]

10. Because every mass shooting is a free marketing event

for their donors in the NRA.

It’s not that the NRA and Republicans don’t care about dead kids. They exploit them. When do they ever fail to use a mass shooting as an opportunity to call for more gun ownership? Never.

11. They feel like after 50 years of trying to.limit their rights it will never end

So they will oppose all the gun control they can and when they do have to give something up it will be crumbs.
