19 Children Gunned Down At Texas Elementary School (27th School Shooting This Year)GOP Immediately Defends Use Of Assault Weapons While Fox Blames School For Deaths

Current Death Toll: 14 18 19 children (second, third, and fourth graders) and 3 adults

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton immediately defended the use of assault rifles and other weapons. After that, he threw his hands up in defeat and admitted nothing can be done and everyone in the US should get used to daily mass shootings because "we can't stop people from doing bad things".

Numerous other Republicans are saying the same thing. An occasional pile of dead eight-year-olds and a few uncomfortable questions is a small price to pay to keep the NRA money spigot flowing into their wallets.

Seven- and eight-year-old kids should not live in fear of suddenly having their bodies ripped apart by automatic weapons fire while practicing their multiplication tables. I know I'm getting a bit radical and "politically correct", but that is simply what I believe.

Fox Lies & Propaganda blamed the school for the 22 deaths, citing a "flimsy fence" and the fact that each child had not been provided with a "ballistic blanket". The network made a specific point to urge that absolutely "no sweeping massive changes" of any kind should be made in response to this latest mass murder at a US elementary school.

There have been more than 200 mass shootings this year (May 24 is Day #144), including 27 school shootings. This was the 16th mass shooting in the US in the last 10 days.

Elsewhere:

"In Australia, we had a terrible mass shooting in the late 90s: 35 dead. Within a month, our government had enacted draconian gun laws and guess what? No mass shootings in over 25 years."

"Same here in Scotland. We had a mass school shooting. 16 children and 1 teacher died. We changed our gun laws. 26 years later, no mass shooting"

“I’d much rather have law abiding citizens armed and trained so that they can respond when something like this happens, because it’s not going to be the last time.” - Ken Paxton

Five minutes ago, conservatives were accusing teachers of being demented sex perverts trying to groom their children.

Now they want them armed while teaching. https://t.co/hqg9tEPNpU

Fox is doing everything short of outright blaming the school for being a "soft target." Here they criticize Robb Elementary School for having "flimsy fencing" that didn't stop the shooter. pic.twitter.com/le6OqbKg2W

Just realized the guy calling for "man traps" to stop school shootings is the same one who linked the San Jose mass shooting to vaccinations.https://t.co/GFLu53BFv2

NEW: Ted Cruz just attacked people who are “politicizing” Uvalde and looking for “immediate solutions” like gun reform. Reminder, Texas Republicans just passed dozens of new laws making obtaining and trafficking guns as easy as possible, including without any training or license.

TRUMP: "Tragically, there's no sign more inviting to a mass killer than a sign that declares 'this school is a gun-free zone. 'Come in and take us. You know they're cowards... there's no stronger deterrent for a sick individual than knowledge that attack will end their life." pic.twitter.com/GYwJ71gbjA

Remember when Trump claimed he would have run into an active shooter situation, even if had no weapon?
