48 people shot during gun control filibuster

Too bad they couldn’t show them all live during the filibuster.

Sen. Chris Murphy staged a 15-hour filibuster on the Senate floor. It lasted from 11 am Wednesday through 2 am Thursday, eventually ending with the GOP agreeing to vote on a gun control bill.

As politicians recounted stories of gun violence before the Senate, there were 38 shootings that killed 12 people and injured 36 more across America.

The shootings began as soon as Murphy took the floor, shortly after 11 am.

Around that time, a man walked into a medical office in eastern Washington, shot his chiropractor to death, and then killed himself.

Moments later, in Cottontown, Tennessee, two men were gunned down in an apparent home intrusion.

    People were gunned down by criminals using firearms, not good law abiding folks, but criminals intent on doing evil things. Of course we see in the gun control nirvana of Chicago, there were 7 shootings with 1 dead and 11 injured. Anyone want to bet that the shooters didn’t get their firearms legally?
    As I was typing this, I was listening to President Obama’s remarks in Florida. Once again, he couldn’t just be a representative of all of us to the grieving relatives in Orlando, but the usual partisan as he brought up the gun issue as he sees it once again. He can never rise to the occasion and be above all the political bickering on the issue, but remains on the lower level of rank partisanship.

    For the GOP, life is cheap (except for abortions)

    “Too bad they couldn’t show them all live during the filibuster.”
    I am surprised that no one in the television media has picked up on this very relevant and timely information. But then it would only have an impact on those of us normal thinking people anyway, like preaching to the choir. The gun humpers would just mention Chicago.

    What would happen when the GOP relations get shot?
