As US President Joe Biden lamented on Tuesday evening: “Why are we willing to live with this carnage?”At least 19 children and two teachers were shot dead in cold blood at an elementary school in south Texas. An 18-year-old gunman walked onto the site and opened fire after reportedly killing his grandmother at their home.
President Joe Biden speaks about the mass shooting at Robb Elementary alongside First Lady Jill Biden“Why do we keep letting this happen?” Biden asked. “Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with and stand up to the lobbyists?” According to district officials, the school has just under 600 students, catering from years 2 to 4. That’s about 600 children aged between 7 and 9, who most likely crouched behind their desks, whispering in hushed tones as they tried to avoid an active shooter, not to mention parents who sent their sons and daughters off to class not realising they would never see them again.
Now facing a hostile Senate almost 10 years later, the most the president can do is repeat his calls for Congress to pass laws expanding background checks and assault weapons, or merely tweak around the edges with executive orders.

FarrahTomazin The issue is clearly cultural, the issue is not guns and laws. The issue is left and right dancing around the real issue. The real issue is politics, politicians and their inability to removed destructive greed from society. It spreads and poisons culture from the top down to us.
FarrahTomazin That's the way it always is. First talk about victims, then the heroes, then promises, and then nothing... Gun strokers who sleep with their guns go on about self defense and government control and BS! And then thoughts and prayers with fake empathy. Same pattern every time.

FarrahTomazin 27 school shootings Here it took 35 lives for both parties to cross the political divide and legislate tighter gun laws. Frightening.
FarrahTomazin The truly appalling thing about this is that no substantial gun reform will come as a result of it, and they’ll be another one within a week or so and possibly another 30-35 before the end of the year GunControlNow BanGunsNow
FarrahTomazin A president that just gave another $40Billion to arms manufacturers can never be serious about gun control.
FarrahTomazin Americans: Thoughts and Payers ~~~ DOING NOTHING :D
FarrahTomazin Biden could stop gun violence easily. Democrats have control of the house and senate. Biden and his party choose not to end gun violence.
FarrahTomazin This speech is amazing .... 'what are we doing?'
