Tone deaf
It is not a gun problem, it's a mental health problem!
Heh 🤘
Wrong venue ….. don’t become the Oscars or Grammys
Honoring the victims would not include drag queens….I can assure you that.
What was the killer's name in Nashville? Tell that story.
Say their names but keep your gun confiscating ideas out of your mouth!!
Comments on here are depressing . Protecting our most precious gifts , children , is a sacred duty . Not a political issue .
Wrong venue ….. don’t become the Oscars or Grammys
She did not honor the victims it was about making a political statement and her own look at me.
Not the guns. It’s the nut jobs behind the guns! He/she could have been stopped! The people that knew how he/she was, should have opened their mouth!
Just honor the lives lost by not drawing conclusions on the cause. You say guns. I say mental illness.
Quit blaming the damn guns never seen guns shoot themselves. Guns are not the number one killers get the facts! Yes, there needs to be change and it starts in the house in raising these kids, and not ignoring them! Parenting has gone lazy
