Two hundred mass shootings this year alone, 27 of them in our schools. Our loved ones, our neighbors, our children: Slaughtered. We'd like to believe that we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, but we don't. We are a country of cowards who can't find the collective courage to get rid of the politicians who sit on their bloody hands when it comes to gun control, but at the same time call themselves "pro life.” We should all be so ashamed.
