Donald Trump has told more than 12,000 lies since he's been in offoce. When he said he supported universal background checks for gun purchases, we wanted to believe him. We should have known better. Donald Trump, same as all our Republican Congressmen, is an NRA puppet who believes guns are more important than human life.

I wonder if Emperor Trump ever considers the possibility that 40 to 50% of our young people who have been killed in mass shootings might have grown up to become Republicans. No matter. Trump does the NRA's bidding. That means zero restrictions on gun ownership.

Do security officers need to start patting everyone down prior to sporting events? Apparently so. This has happened too many times. One time is too many.

Two men shot 30 people at random this afternoon. One was a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper. And don't forget what the NRA always says: A good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun.

Sometimes.

Attention, Republicans: Your de rigueur offering of "thoughts and prayers" after every mass shooting doesn't seem to be having any effect. The mass shootings keep happening.

CNN is reporting the Texas gunman was a white male in his 30s. He was shot and killed outside a movie theater. Most mass shootings are committed by young, American-born white men – so why do certain politicians keep saying the United States should ban Muslims and Mexicans but they never suggest banning American-born white men?

Elizabeth Warren stated the obvious: "We shouldn't have to live with this near daily fear and horror. We've already lost far too many to gun violence. Congress must act now." Unfortunately, it is also obvious that Congress will do nothing to curb gun violence as long as the NRA-puppet Republicans control the Senate. But, hey, Donald Trump sends his "thoughts and prayers" to the victims. That should make everything okay, right?

Another day, another mass shooting in the United States of America – and the death toll of the latest one is now seven. Three law enforcement officers and a 17-month-old girl are among the 22 injured. The Odessa police chief has not yet identified the gunman but he did say the shooter used an "AR-style weapon." Most mass shooters do. Why are these assault weapons still legal for private citizens to own?
