From CNN's Elise Hammond


Vice President Kamala Harris called the shooting that killed four people at a Georgia high school a “senseless tragedy.”

Speaking at a rally in New Hampshire on Wednesday, the Democratic presidential nominee said her heart is with the students and teachers of the school. She called for action to curb gun violence.

“It’s just outrageous that every day in our country, in the United States of America, that parents have to send their children to school worried about whether or not their child will come home alive,” Harris said.

“We’ve got to stop it,” she said, adding that “it doesn’t have to be this way.”

She talked about how she traveled around to trade schools and colleges last year, meeting young Americans. She said she asked groups of students if they had to go through an active shooter drill while they were in school.

The parents are the fools who voted for the situation we find ourselves in.
Or at least opted out of voting for various incomprehensible, and often specious, reasons.

The kids are the ones being traumatised.
Parents (Government) should take away everyone's "toys" until they can be used responsibly.

I'm in the camp that would melt every gun, bomb, grenade, and other explosive device on the planet if I were Emperor.

If the pen is indeed "mightier than the sword", anyone who doesn't use a pen is being lazy, or just an f'ing coward.
