Another school shooting, another mass murder, another 17 lives needlessly taken.  Welcome to another day in America.

Since the December 2012 shooting of 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, more than 1,600 mass shootings have taken place in America.

I'm angry.  Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, where the latest shooting took place, said that he prayed that this would never happen.  I apologize if this sounds harsh, but we don't need your mother-fucking prayers, Little Marco.  We need common sense gun-control legislation, something agreed upon by the vast majority of Americans.  If your Congress can't pass legislation to make events like yesterday's - and the past 1,600 other mass shootings - less likely, then we need a new Congress.  Save your prayers for a new job.

Meanwhile, the only gun-related legislation signed by the short-fingered vulgarian was to undo restrictions on selling guns to the mentally ill.  Now, he's towing the NRA line that the problem is mental illness, not the widespread availability of guns.  The NRA spent $11 million during the 2016 Presidential race to support Donald Trump and another $19 million to oppose Hillary Clinton, for a total of over $30 million.  Little Marco (“I’m praying for all the victims, their families, and our first responders in the #LasVegas #MandalayBay shooting”) has received $3.3 million from the NRA.

Stop fucking praying and start passing legislation!  America is the only civilized country with this problem, yet we keep asking "What can we do about it?" and then offer "our thoughts and prayers" to the families torn apart by the gun violence that we allow to continue.

We need new laws.  We need a new Congress.  We need less prayer and more action. And we need it now!
