    We are not the land of liberty. That's a song. This is a disturbingly violent place. The United States is the country where children are shot & killed in school every single week. We are the nation of police brutality and mass incarceration. We must be honest here.

        Uh, 40 years ago when I was in school, there were zero mass shootings, no need for police in schools, no such thing as “road rage”, the POTUS and Congress worked for the people, and someone filled my car with gas, cleaned the windows, checked for oil, and it cost .65 cents/gal

        .Thx. Yes. I grew up with guns in the house; early frontier days meant almost everyone had a gun. It’s beyond guns - it’s a culture that glorifies violence as conflict resolution. Look at all the wars in which the USA is now involved, yet its masses by-and-large ignore.

        I dont think you'd be singing this tune if you were where the U.S. was bombing, particularly when the US up taking out civilian reporters, shooting up a vehicle with children in it, or blow up a civilian town out of misculculations. Every war the US has committed war atrocities

        When I was in the army, they told us crap like this was what the Soviet Union did to it's people & that's what we were fighting to save America from. But here we are.

        We are a nation w/ leaders who care more about money, power, and racial supremacy than they care about children and POC. We have to change as a nation who we want to lead us into a better future because we’re headed in the opposite direction right now.

        This is truly sad. I live near this area. It's a gun toting area that has always had ties to KKK. I so hope that before the national media gets to this area that they remove the large number of confederate flags that are displayed promenantly along highway 6.

        Lemme start this one off: Lobbyist for the #NRA & non-govt. gun manufacturers need to be barred from Capitol Hill. All politicians who take gun 💰 need to be publically called out & checked hard on it. State Gun licensing equal to Driving licensing..
