Questions

Since when has mass murder been a political issue?

Last week, 17 students and staff were gunned down in a Florida high school. Others were wounded. The shooter was an expelled student with a long history of troubled behavior.

Apparently, the FBI was warned about him. Local social services and local law enforcement knew of him because of multiple contacts.

Despite this, he was able to purchase a semi-automatic assault-style rifle and carry out his killing spree.

Since that horrific day, a cry has gone out that this should never happen again in America.

This is about the only consensus there is....
