14 children and a teacher were killed today in a school shooting in Texas. This is heartbreaking. When parents send their kids to school, they can't be sure they will ever see them alive again.

CNN says the death toll is now 18 children and two adults. This is the 30th school shooting in the United States so far this year and the 212th mass shooting overall. Our nation is truly "the land of the guns and the home of the shootings." Retrumplicans keep offering their meaningless "thoughts and prayers" and they vote against every gun-control measure that is proposed in Congress. These shootings, sadly, will continue.

Here are all the Republican senators who offered their usual thoughts and prayers. That is all they ever do when there is a shooting.

“The time to stop the next shooting is now and you’re doing nothing!” You should know, Beto, that Greg Abbott is a typical Retrumplican who values guns more than he values human life. California has had more mass shootings than any other state. Florida ranks second. Texas is third. Eighteen people were gunned doiwn at the University of Texas in 1966. Twenty-four were gunned down at a cafeteria in Killeen in 1991. Thirteen were gunned down at Fort Hood in 2009. Twenty-seven were gunned down at a church in Sutherland Springs in 2017. Ten were gunned down at Santa Fe High School in 2018. Twenty-three were gunned down at a Walmart in El Paso in 2019. Twenty-one were gunned down at an elementary school in Uvalde in 2022.

The gunman texted a girl in Germany and said he had shot his grandmother and was going to shoot up an elementary school. I guess she did not see the text until after the shooting.

Biden wants a ban on assault weapons. Retrumplicans are opposed. Biden wants stronger background checks for gun purchases. Retrumplicans are opposed. Biden wants to raise the minimum age to buy a gun to 21. Retrumplicans are opposed. Biden wants to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. Retrumplicans are opposed. Biden wants to allow lawsuits against gun manufacturers whose weapons are used in mass shootings. Retrumplicans are opposed. Keep this in mind when you go to the polls in November 2022 and November 2024,

Congress banned assault weapons in 1994. The ban expired in 2004 and there is not much evidence that the ban had any effect on the number of mass shootings.

Last month an 18-year-old with an assault rifle killed 10 people at a market in Buffalo and an 18-year-old with an assault rifle killed 21 people at an elementary school in Uvalde. In 2018, Congress raised the minimum age for tobacco purchases from 18 to 21 but Retrumplicans are opposed to raising the minimum age for purchases of assault weapons. Apparently they believe it is bad for teenagers to smoke cigarettes but it is acceptable for teenagers to gun down shoppers and schoolchildren. We need to remember this when we go to the polls in November 2022 and November 2024.
