What to say? Another appalling massacre but we don't really know the background yet

Here is the latest insanity from the Exited States of America. Gun lobby conspiracy theorists have concocted one that says the mothers of the slain children in Florida are merely professional actors and the one in the article is getting death threats for being so anti-gun. I can't wait until Trump weighs in on this one on Twitter.

"The shootings in Florida were all fake news coming from Hillary!"

"Donald Trump has stunned lawmakers from both parties by telling them in a live broadcast not to be so "petrified" of the powerful gun lobby the National Rifle Association (NRA).

In a break from his party's stance on gun control, Mr Trump urged lawmakers to come up with a "strong" reform bill.

He suggested expanding background checks for gun buyers and raising the legal age to buy rifles to 21 from 18."

Credit where it is due, this is a good move by Trump and I applaud him for it.

Have to agree, something tells me Ivanka may be behind his change of heart. Let's hope he sticks with it
