There have been eleven school shootings in the USA in the first month of 2018.
Kentucky comes in at number 16, with 13.5 guns for every 1,000 residents. That's 59,240 registered firearms among 4,395,295 people.
In this picture, a man and woman hold hands as they walk, both carrying several guns, at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot in West Point, Kentucky.
Every legislator in the country should be concerned at the NEW epidemic of school shootings resulting in the deaths of innocent American children. it is becoming a daily event.
Wikipedia lists a total of seven school shootings in the USA in 2017. Not that it is acceptable, but, there is a marked change in the occurrence of these shootings and it is extremely alarming.
There are too many guns on the street and I don't care if conservative jerks believing in revolution because they are basically criminals run out to buy more guns and ammunition. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY HAS TO DEAL WITH AND NOW!
Every elected official from city commissioners to mayors to governors to every federal Senate and House member need to address this increase in violence in our schools. This is happening across the country, including the much coveted charter schools.
There is only one way to control this and it is to control the number of guns on the street. Nothing else works. NOTHING ELSE WORKS.
I do not want to hear how the US Senate is joining arms to create a law for background checks that are politically neutral. Our children don't need pablum, they need laws that work.
Kentucky is Mitch McConnell's state. What is he doing about this new reality! Child shooters don't need background checks, they don't come across the southern border by motorized hand gliders or tunnels, they find their guns and they shoot them at classmates, teachers and administrators. Some even kill the parent that purchased the gun in the first place!
The women marching for equal rights and to end female oppression now need to march for their children as well. It would be helpful if Dad was among the marchers, too.
Background checks are simply not working for adults. We have witnessed wealthy gun owners killing innocent people at a concert with an enormous number of fire arms all legally purchased. Background checks aren't working. The young people of the USA are too vulnerable and for 11 shootings to occur in one month in the USA is more than alarming, it is a national emergency.
Law officers have surrendered their outrage and pain for these children and schools by say in Kentucky yesterday, "It will take a long time to heal from this and for some there will be no healing." That is not a law officer, that is a the processor to the undertaker. The law has resigned to the NRA and allow far too much violence in their communities. There is no reason to try to stop the pillage anymore, because, the shooters are better armed then them.

On Tuesday, (click here) it was a high school in small-town Kentucky. On Monday, a school cafeteria outside Dallas and a charter-school parking lot in New Orleans. And before that, a school bus in Iowa, a college campus in Southern California, a high school in Pierce County, near Seattle....
