MSNBC is still rolling out the vaccine injury host. That's nice.

[joeschneider]

Well they didn't give him the death penalty they rewarded him with three meals of cot health insurance for the rest of his life murderers and Killers have nothing to fear that's why crime is so bad the punishment never fits the crime

[joshualowe]

Thank You God for the courageous determination, and the strong and unstoppable, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, their daughter, all of their loved ones, and the parents and loved ones of the 16 other victims that were massacred, along with each and every one of the surviving victims. Thank you, God, for turning insurmountable, and unspeakable pain and anguish of these parents and loved ones into a battle cry to put an end to school shootings. Dear God, keep them strong, healthy, and safe always, and God bless them in fathomless measure as they carry on in remembrance of their precious sons, daughters, and husbands. Dear God, let this crusade grow, and let the message become so loud that people will hear it even in their sleep at night until the goal is reached, and the tireless efforts return victoriously. Dear God, send your Angels of protection to be encamped in and around each and every school, and a hedge of protection around each and every student, and every teacher across this Nation, so that this will never, ever happen again. God open the heavens and pour out warring Angels to quench every evil thought or deed in the name of Jesus we pray.❤ Amen

May God Give this relentless soldier the continued strength and energy to keep up this enormous fight. I hope more Americans would really wake up and realize that gun violence is now a full blown stage 4 cancer. It's time to fight the disease and save our kids and communities from having to live in a society where mass shootings are "the American way of life"

[thpilot]

Well we sell and promote video games for kids that have the violence of RR movies but does anyone every think of stopping the sell of those NOT A PEEP.

[silentmajority]

Will you do anniversary stories on Walmart? Roxbury High? Virginia Tech?
CRICKETS

[letsgorandall]

If them kid wasn't in a gun free zone this wouldn't have happened.

Always buy Smith & Wesson, Sturm Ruger stock when Democrats are getting ready to take over and sell it when Republicans come in. Thats the best Financial tip you will get here.

Thank you president Trump for your great Supreme Court, the greatest gift to America 🇺🇸 the 2nd ammendment is the greatest 🙌

[dribrom]

I get that banning modern military style rifles will reduce the amount of killed people in mass shootings. But how many less? Changing the gun laws will help a little, but changing peoples minds and hearts help so much more.

“You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. ' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven." -- This is a quote from Jesus sermon of the mountain that is a corner stone in the Christian faith. If all the gun loving Christians in America actually start reading the Bible every day gun death would drop with at least 75%.

[tedwright]

Politicized to the point of antipathy. If you lose a child, have another one. I did.

[legoshimadsen]

America is not the greatest country in the world a true quote
