  1. Isn’t it weird how the media is covering all of these shootings but no one is covering Hillary Clinton’s trial working with the Russians against president trump at the time. Would look bad on our president since he’s also a democrat and it’s a huge coincidence how they’ll politicize tragic events like this as long as it favors them.

  2. America has given over $53 Billion to Ukraine. There are 130,000 K-12 schools in America. That is $4000,000 per school that could have been spent on safety, security, & education. Simple math, Why don't we put "Americans First" and protect our kids!… America without a President!!!

  3. Broken families caused Robb, Sandy Hook & Virginia Tech. Broken families (fatherless homes) are caused by the liberalization of divorce laws & the welfare state – all democrat machinations.

    The US Gov't (Andrew Jackson's democrat party) trustworthiness is measured by all the broken treaties (over 200) with the American Indian Tribes. In 1975, the democrat run congress eliminated the House UnAmerican Activities Committee. A congressional facet that was meant to protect us from times like these. The declassified Venona Papers spell out that Joe McCarthy & Richard Nixon were just doing their job.

    Every communist country (china, russia, cambodia, venezuela, cuba, etc) that gained tyrannical power over its people, took away their guns first. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson & George Mason, in their notes to the 2A all pointed out the need for arms. To allow citizens capacity to protect themselves from their electeds & their appointees (ie bureaucrats & employees).

    Regarding the type of guns to protect themselves, they must be equivalent to what the US Gov't has and not flintlocks.

  4. FOR GODS SAKE WHY ARE YOU STILL IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
    Inact the 29th amendment!
    why did the police sit with perants for 45 minutes outside the school? psh

  5. I know this isn't ideal but if they don't do something about gun laws then it might be better placing armed security units in schools going forwards…..there needs to be some kind of deterrent and at least some kind of protection…. This event is truly beyond words…. 😔❤️

  6. Seriously the USA is the last country I would ever want to live in.. the only reason you all put up with it is because you're brain washed in to believing you're free and the rest of the world is not when the opposite is true.
    I live in Australia, I have never seen a gun in my life, criminals simply cannot get them.
    nobody lives in fear and nobody feels like they need a gun.

  7. Worst president ever in USA greetings from Sweden. You run Amerika now. Stop blaming trumph for your mistakes

  8. One grim thought about this is that, somewhere out there a troubled victim or a troubled child watching it in the news will give birth to another school terrorist and the cycle will again repeat itself. It’s like an endless grim version of the straw that broke the camel’s back and one situation feeding off the other, and another, and another until it becomes normal in America’s way of life. 🙁 I hope they can get out of this. 🙏

  9. Is Joe Biden intoxicated?? Why is he speaking the way he is? Sounds like he’s on something….

  10. You can reach out to Dr Osaba on any kind of herbal medicine I was cured from herpes virus by Dr Osaba on YouTube with the help of his herbal remedies.

  12. It would be better that Biden just shut up .

  13. Believe me when I say you don't want to see the dead children but pictures of those children would help spur Republicans in Congress to DO something about gun violence. Vote them OUT if they don't.

  14. I hate to see the US eating itself like this. But to hear your government officials blame everyone and everything but themselves is the hardest to hear. If politicians really see themselves as powerless to do something, I feel for the communities they represent.

    If this were a sport, you wouldn’t accept the players or sponsors making up the rules before you play.

  15. Bad leaders create opportunities for evil to rage!

    How many children died waiting for a hero?

    Better cops and adults die saving kids than kids die waiting for a hero! I don't care what the reason was, waiting 1 hour is wrong.

    My children expect me to protect them and this is a responsibility I can't ignore. I couldnt live with myself if I stood outside knowing those children needed help!

    I grieve for these families and this culture of cowardice and excuses has to change.

    Guns aren't the problem, poor leadership is as responsible and the psychic kid with the gun.

  16. This is a terrible terrible evil deed ! My prayers are with the families and all involved . My thoughts are this ——. Who can predict who will decide to take one life or 30 lives. ? No one could have told these families 4 days ago that that young man would go on a killing spree. No one can predict who will be filled with evil . Sad as this whole thing is we have to accept that . The next killer could be sitting right beside you. IT CANNOT be predicted!!! Our hearts and prayers are with these families

  17. United States has not done anything to prevent school shootings. Billions of dollars and y'all can't use some of that money to prevent school shootings

  18. HOW DO WE KNOW THIS EVENT ACTUALLY HAPPENED???

  19. HOW DO WE KNOW THIS EVENT ACTUALLY HAPPENED???

  20. HOW DO WE KNOW THIS EVENT ACTUALLY HAPPENED???

  21. for christ sakes will you please resign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. You sent 40 billion of our money to Ukraine. Why couldn’t that money have been used to upgrade security at schools!? He could care less about our children.

  23. Americans just can't seem to connect the dots… Less guns on the streets = less schoolshootings. Just look at any European country. Quit blaming these shooters. There are lost people all over the world. The US are the only ones that provide these lost souls with automatic rifles. The only protection from gun violence is banning them. But Americans just keep buying more guns to "protect" themselves… 🤦‍♂️ How is this working out so far?

  24. LACK OF GUN LAWS is the ISSUE NOT MENTAL HEALTH
    The GOP is the #1 threat & problem 2 America VOTE LIKE YOUR KID LIFE DEPENDS ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES

  25. Idk, maybe it's the fact that gun regulations weren't renewed since the 90s?

  26. If y’all would just adopt strict gun control laws like we have here in NYC, you wouldn’t be having none of these shootings! We don’t even need self defense laws here – we just let NYPD protect us. It’s like peaceful nirvana here – Y’all should try it!

  27. Because you sent our reserve funds to Ukraine for war and forgot about homeland security. Before we pick poop up in someone else's backyard, how bout we clean up our own first…..we are not blind,we see your agenda.

  28. Cause you let texas get away with stealing money from the poor threw gas and oil inflation…….puppets of texas

  29. Why is he asking when they will change gun law while he is the only one that can have a biggest vote about it..

  30. Remember Waukesha, Wisconsin? When will Biden finally ban cars?

  31. Bruh you’re the president? Change gun laws

  32. God's name is invoked when it's convenient, he is a small part of peoples lives and not proportionate to who he actually is, the creator of the universe, our savior, "ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."

  33. Pass all your laws you want when your liberal judges want so anything!
