I think things are about to change big time. The grass roots is pissed. There is a school shooting somewhere in this country an average of every 60 hours. Up until now, nobody was paying attention. Now they are.
Can you please define "school shooting" and then tell us of the ten or eleven that, according to you, have occurred so far in February in this country?
