As you may have already heard, there was another terrible mass shooting. This time a gunman opened fire at a municipal building in Virginia Beach. There are reportedly at least 11 people dead, and six others injured. Elected officials across the country have begun to send out their statements on social media. There will be one side of the gun safety “debate” that will say now (and never) is the time to “politicize,” gun violence. Those people are shitheads. Here are some examples of elected officials tired of gun violence in our country. I had planned on putting their statements for action along side other elected officials thinking and praying the paychecks they get from groups like the NRA. But their words are useless, and right now they are hiding out—afraid of the blowback they will get the moment they stick their impotent heads outside to offer up faux empathy.
It truly is unacceptable.

For all of those people that think praying is going to solve this it is time for them to sit down and let real serious adults and children to take control and strengthen our gun laws.
