What more of a wake-up call do Senate Republicans need? Nineteen children stuck in a room with a gunman, begging for help while 19 officers of the law stood in the hall doing nothing to stop the gunman.

AR-15s and the like need to be removed from gun shop shelves and gun shows now.

Senate Republicans talk about compromise. They talk about everything, but we need real action now. Background checks and red flag laws need to be in place and followed.

They are worried about protecting Supreme Court justices. What a joke. Adults vs. children. How about we remember a little girl smearing blood on herself with a cellphone in her hand, watching her classmates being shot?

This is a human issue, not Republican or Democrat, although the Democrats are not the problem, as usual.

One more thing: Maybe Republicans could think more clearly if the NRA stopped giving them so much money to fund their campaigns.
