It's — it’s like no other country lives or allows themselves to live and here we are, another time, having a discussion about guns as being a security issue for our children.

Who isn't shocked with the rapidity of the call to disarm? As usual, having facts doesn't mean you have to tell the truth. Heck I've been demanding that cnn be removed from airports for years. Crickets......................

Put that train of thought on a one track mind, and...?

Why do these massacres gravitate to the most ill guarded places?

So totally predictable. America’s domestic enemy — the Fifth Column of the media.

The President needs to sign an executive order to put retired veterans in our schools until a plan for replacements can be established. Enough talk about saving illegal people. Let’s use the money and save our children and grand children.

I thought the victims were already disarmed at the school?

CNN pays airports big money to put their BS on at airports, and the airports just can’t turn them down.

Maybe DHS can declare CNN a terrorist organization and ban them.
