    There are days when it just seems pointless to worry about writing a book. At least 8 students killed in a shooting in Texas - this country is broken beyond repair. WHEN will the @NRA be declared a terrorist organization?

        Right after antifa, BLM, and the Muslim Brotherhood. How about we hold Verizon mobile and all the phone companies accountable for texting and driving too while we're at it.

        Furthermore, when did it become okay for people to bash innocent people over the head with a bike lock because they support President Trump? This is what your beloved left wing organizations do to people attending rallies supporting President Trump. This is terrorism.

        I am also pretty certain that confusing the daylights out of young children with all the new gender labels and the rampant decay of the traditional family unit is not helping matters.

        Please explain how the NRA is to blame? Because they teach gun safety and responsibility? Are you sad everyday that you don’t think for yourself?

        Oh please, Melanie. First of all, you leftists are always quick when these things happen to score political points, instead of putting politics aside. Second of all, you think the @NRA is culpable, when no NRA member has ever been involved in a mass shooting. Laughable at best.

        Exactly how is the @NRA responsible for any of these mass school shootings. Please explain it to me. The shooter wasn't a member, in fact no mass shooting was ever committed by a member of the NRA, and they don't sell guns. Go

        Hey Mel, did you know that no NRa member has ever been involved in a mass shooting. You appear uneducated when you make echo chamber statements about the NRA being a terroist organization

        The lack of good parenting, not teaching kids good manners, and the systemic failure to hold kids accountable with proper discipline/tough love is fracturing our society and creating little monsters that think they can get away with anything.

        How about declaring Planned Parenthood a terrorist organization? The NRA hasn’t killed anyone, but I’m fairly certain Planned Parenthood has killed millions.
