Another week, another school shooting.
Last Friday, a troubled 17-year-old boy opened fire at his classmates at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, TX, pop. 12,000. Ten people - nine students and a teacher - were shot to death by this teen, who was obsessed with guns. The boy's father was a hardcore fan of Fox News Channel and sympathized with Dana Loesch, the controversial talk radio host and NRA advocate.
Sadly, the story was almost quickly broomed under the rug by the media because it's more important to them that some American woman married a prince. Like many, I chose to sleep during the big wedding, and guess what? The sun came up at 6:12 a.m. and set at 9:06 p.m. Sadly, I was awaken by birds chirping, but that's life. Thankfully, NBC Nightly News profiled some of the families affected by the gunman.
Like many high schools, Santa Fe High participated in the #NotOneMore movement a few weeks ago, influenced by another horrific mass shooting at Parkland High in Florida. School shootings seem to go in a cycle: the shooting happens, the people react and then it simmers down. Then, another shooting happens and so on. All the NRA cares about is that the controversy surrounding the shooting will die down so they can once again be the good guys. Hell, they love it when a school has a cop inside because as Wayne LaPierre once said, "it takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun". OK, so did Santa Fe High have a cop inside? How about schools in smaller towns in the US?
The sad truth is that we have a de facto president that cares more about the NRA than protecting our children. Hell, NBC Nightly News tonight showed Drumpf at an NRA rally during a news story about his troubled meeting with Kim Jong Un. Of course, the NRA would rather simply turn our schools into prisons where teachers are taught to shoot people, kids have to enter through a metal detector and a police officer is present at all times. Of course, banning assault weapons seems to be a more sensible solution. After all, it works in other nations, so why not us? Simple: it's the same reason why we're one of the last nations on Earth that doesn't have free healthcare or free college for all.
Thanks to the NRA, we can't have nice things.
