Oh, please - spare me this fake outrage....A beautiful young woman was shot in broad daylight and leftists celebrated when he got off.

How about an, “I’m against murder” month?

As we all know, the “awareness” month Durbin and others are requesting is simply a vehicle to legitimize anti-gun agitprop.

We all know that the very next thing would be taxpayer funds paying for month-long, coast-to-coast anti-gun PSAs — which would become more aggressive over the years. Of course then celebrities would claim legitimacy via this “awareness month” to chime in on their opposition to the Second Amendment, however crafty they would initially veil that message. How about:

JUST SAY NO.

How about a national day of prayer for all of those slaughtered in the womb in the name of convenience?
