In the decade since Sandy Hook, gun violence has become the leading cause of death for American children; more than 25,000 kids have been killed. No other industrialized country comes close to the U.S. rate.
How much longer will Congress let this carnage continue?
@rbreich Until someone assassinates the President.
@LaNegresseCanadienne @rbreich Only if it’s a Republican president that is assassinated. And perhaps not even then.
@bitbear @rbreich
President McKinley was the last Republican who met an ignominious fate. 😓
@LaNegresseCanadienne @rbreich Yeah, so long time ago the Republican party might have been considered the progressive one of the two. So let me rephrase:
Gun laws will only be made stricter once a conservative president gets shot dead. And perhaps not even then.
@bitbear @rbreich
In the 120 years since the demise of President McKinley, not even so called Progressives from either political party staved off gun violence.
