Republican are saying America can't stop the Mass Shootings!!!

It’s unsettling to know the truth now about the Republican Party’s disinterest in trying to stop the gun carnage sweeping the U.S.. The community college in Roseburg, Oregon is just the latest.

Their outrageously ridiculous, but widely accepted solution – getting tough on mental illness – never materialized. Now, they’re not even bothering to offer any hope at all.

In the WPR Joy Cardin radio interview below, John Prestegard, conservative editor of the Platteville Journal, said outright there is nothing we can do to stop these mass shootings, so why try. This echoes Carly Fiorina’s throw-in-the-towel attitude about climate change. Majority Republicans no longer have to struggle for excuses, or even feign concerned anymore.

That’s American exceptionalism? That’s that can-do attitude from the worlds superpower?

John Nichols counters Prestegard’s shocking surrender with hope and determination that something can be done. Nothing exemplifies Republican politics today like the sharp contrasting discussion below:

Huffington Post: According to Everytown for Gun Safety, a group pushing for reforms to reduce gun violence, (said) it was the 45th shooting at a school in 2015. Everytown was formed in the wake of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary … There have been 142 shootings at schools since December 14, 2012, the date of that incident.
