America! Why Are You Killing Your Kids?

It's the NRA vs. our children. So far it's the NRA 100% and children 0.

“America! Your killing your kids!” said Sergio Rosenblatt father of sophomore Alexandra Rosenblatt who survived the carnage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School yesterday.

Which begs the question …Why ARE we killing out children?

Imagine for one moment your child, your teenager, your grandchild being at Costa Mesa High School, Corona Del Mar High School, Estancia, Ensign, Tewinkle, Harbor High, any private school or elementary school. hiding in a closet, on the floor, alone in a bathroom, in the hall trying to get in a locked classroom, while the shooter is just around the corner blasting an AK 47.

You think it couldn’t happen to them? Do not be deluded….it could. It could in spite of our best attempts.

Why are we sending these kids out to die or be injured for life? Is that some people think that they must have guns? Pathetic! That million to one chance they will be robbed? Kidnapped? The Government is going to come and get them?

Over and over we hear the stats...we have had 17 school shootings since January 1st.

Some people’s pitiful cowardice and weird relationship to guns verses children’s lives. And the winner is the NRA and the sheep that follow them.

The equation is simple. Children vs NRA

Before I list these people who have lost their souls, I have questions> Does Marco Rubio who has accepted $1,300,000, Senator Cassidy $2,800,000, Ron Portman $3,000,000, Joni Ernst $3,100.000, Cory Gardner $3,900,000 Mike Pence who received an A, and Donald Trump $21,000,000 who all received this and more from the NRA think that this soul less money will form a protective bubble around their children and their grandchildren and they will be safe? Is their seat in congress worth one child dying let alone the kind of numbers we are seeing now.

Is it too strong to call them monsters?

The NRA has gone completely mad with spending on politicians and politics to further their businesses since the Citizens United Supreme Court Decision. They have poured $81, 000,000 into house, senate and presidential races since that decision.

It isn’t just the NRA support in terms of money. It’s the fear of losing their seats if they don’t go along, and the threat of the NRA et.al primarying them if they don’t follow orders.

America! Why are you killing your kids?

  • Google your representatives
  • Google their voting history on guns
  • Google how much money they have received from the NRA

THEN VOTE….
