Owning assault weapons is not freedom….innocent children and their safety in schools, the right to vote, the right to be who you are. This is freedom. Child murder is not the price we are paying for freedom, but the price for bad, bad politicians.
Lack of decency sir….how sad for your children.
Shame on you sir, refusing to protect children. Shame….no Christianity, no courage, no leadership, only disgrace. Lack of humanity.
Apathy is easy when your kid is homeschooled. There’s no possibility that your own kid could be murdered during school so why bother protecting everyone else’s kids?
It's not a gun problem, it's a people problem and the democrats may not like the real fix that needs to be done!! Like when someone mows down a bunch of people with a vehicle such as the Christmas parade in Wisconsin, that's not a vehicle problem, it's a people problem!!
They want the peasents dead and it's not their children dieng,copy😮
If going to school in America feels like fighting in World war ll this is a sign that things are f@*ked up in America! Something needs to happen!
Republican lawmakers are more interested in keeping trans books out of classrooms than AR-15s…
The only reason Congress hasn't fixed gun violence is because Republicans like himself are preventing it from happening.
Switzerland has 2 million gun owners and no school shootings. All gun owners there have to register their weapons to the police. US gun owners don’t.
Mister president if you aren't going to do something about these innocent people killings?
I don't think there will be an other would do that in America.
plant your name forever into the American's history!
HELLO!!👋 To all you parents out there. School is not your baby-sitting service if your kids' school doesn't have Steele doors, security cameras and armed security don't send them, teach them at home. Period end of story. WAKE UP!!
Looks like Tim Burchett is on the liberals hit list …..congratulations on a job well done . He's got my vote already !
Anybody who can make a liberal cringe like a vampire facing a sunny day has my respect .
Hang on you cutout by indifference you asked where do your kids go and he responded I homeschool
Is it just me, but I don't like this thing at all. He is not a man. He's some kind of dead thing walking around in a suit. Dead thing walking around pretending to be a Human being. Is he a Zombie? Did his brain get eaten?
Tell the parents that have to bury their babies to "tone it down."
He needs a visit from Karma.
It should bother us that he is just so casual. He's like, Oh well….
Any member of Congress accepting to be bribed by the Gun Industry is just as guilty as the killer. In fact they made this tragedy possible.
This is a representative? Sick….
These despicable Republicans know exactly what's going on and admit it in real time says a lot about where the country's heading…, WTF ???
Is it really going to take Congress’s children to be caught in an elementary school mass shooting??? I am saddened and my heart goes out to families that lost loved ones. Also those children who are going to be traumatized for years.
As long as humans are violent, irrational, greedy, degenerates and the 2nd amendment isn't abolished these events will continue to happen.
Washington DC, is not going to fix school shootings? But Washington DC has a piece of parchment.
Vote for Republicans is death and destruction of America. Their prolife instance is total BS. They are completely owned by gun lobbyists.
Republicans only care about lives when they belong to embryos and only care about freedoms when the belong to gun nuts!
"they" congressman??
You are Washington.
It's not "they" to you.
Morality can't be legislated. Crime & murder is already illegal.
Luke 22:36 Christ commands his followers be armed with a sword (weapon of war)

Who recalls that she avoided shooting up a school what had more beefed up security? This is America and gun control will never stop killers. Protect important areas. If universal studios can get everyone in there without a gun we can do the same with schools. We can allocate money to that instead of Ukraine and make our schools secure.
Nothing will be done and more children will be gunned down
Freedumb
You morons edited out the part when he proposes a real solution that would actually work: Homeschooling. Or even safe online remote learning for kids which we have already done because of the pandemic!!! That would protect ALL our kids because they would be safe at home but you guys would rather tyrannically abolish the second amendment!!!! Why don't you try reforming the education system to be online remote learning only or at least give people the option of tuning in to education Livestreams from home!!! Let's see who learns better, the kids who learn at school in-person or the kids who learn safely online from home!!!!! But you won't try that because you're not really interested in protecting kids, you're despicably only interested in abolishing the 2nd amendment!!!!
Wearing seat belts wasn't popular too….. but I'm sure it saved countless lives. Rep Tim Burchett rather do nothing? He should resign and get out of the way then.
This guy is exactly the problem. Tennessee has some of the most awful politicians in the country… Looking at you Marsha Blackburn 😡
Constitution used to have that 3/5 thing…we changed that. Amend
The GOP/Margie/Blowbert anti crime "stimulus" – you get a gun, you get a gun, everybody gets a gun. Surprising that they have not proposed a federal tax credit for the purchase of the assault style rifles they use in their Christmas cards.
They don't care i have to call it for what it is
What he means is Republicans aren't going to do a thing about it.
The only way to stop this madness is Dem must win big and abolish 2nd Amendment.
Why shooters don't go to GOP place?
My heart goes out to the lives that were lost.
I know President Biden and his “people” are going to use this situation to get rid of our 2nd Amendment. People don’t fall for it. It’s not the gun, it’s the evil and mentally ill people. So many people with mental health and they are on the rise. We need to protect ourselves and never believe in the government 100 percent. Remember what happen… Biden traded a basketball player for the merchant of death? He deals weapons.
God bless the policemen for what they did.
Australia is much freer than America. We don't ban books we don't need guns and we live in safety and we respect everyone's point of view.
Republicans will continue to sacrifice children even their own. In Tennessee they'll even let you marry their children so they don't have to take care of them.
If what they're doing isn't child sacrifice then what is?
We love guns more than human beings.
