This isn’t normal. It is ok to be angry. It is ok to demand action. We are Americans; we don’t have to live this way.

This unwillingness to do anything but offer thoughts and prayers:

Ted Cruz Tweet:'Heidi and I are praying for the families of the victims of the horrific mall shooting in Allen, Texas. We pray also for the broader Collin County community that’s in shock from this tragedy.'

And this indifference from lawmakers.

Aaron Parnas Tweet: 'Another day, another mass shooting in America. This time, in Allen, Texas.Remember what Republican Rep. Tim Burchett said: “we’re not gonna fix it.'

Is why we keep getting this.

CNN Breaking News Tweet: 'Eight people were killed and seven victims are hospitalized after a shooting at a Texas outlet mall, officials say. The gunman is also dead.'

It’s why guns are the number one cause of death among KIDS in this country. Not cancer. Not car accidents. Guns.

Micheal Skolnik Tweet with chart comparing gun violence death to motor vehicle crashes: 'Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in the United States. In 2020, for the first time in history, more children and teenagers died from guns than from motor vehicle crashes. source: CDC'

And it is why we need Senators willing to do this:

Ruben Gallego replying to Krysten Sinema: Please just stop.. unless you are willing to break the filibuster to actually pass sensible gun control measures you might as well just say 'thoughts and prayers' - Sinema's original tweet:We are horrified and heartbroken by the senseless tragedy unfolding at Robb Elementary School in Texas and grateful to the first responders for acting swiftly. No families should ever have to fear violence in their children's schools.'

Or the carnage will never end.
