Colorado school shooting 6th grader said: "...at least half the kids in my class broke into tears when it started happening."

Just when I thought Republicans won, and finally got the country desensitized enough to accept the inevitable next school shooting, this story and interview happened. 

Must Watch: Note the 6th graders reactions, something that should hopefully open a few peoples eyes. And remember that an 18 year old threw himself in front of a bullet to stop the shooter. It's heart wrenching stuff Republicans everywhere don't care about in the least. Phony freedom and guns, that's what counts. Thank the conservative activist Supreme Court for reredfining the 2nd Amendment:
Nate Holley, a 6th grader at STEM School Highlands Ranch on Wednesday spoke with CNN’s Brooke Baldwin about the moment two shooters opened fire at his school, describing how he kept his hand on a metal baseball bat because he “was going to go down fighting.”

In the heart-wrenching interview, Holley and his father Steve Holley, spoke about Tuesday’s shooting in Douglas County, Colorado, which claimed the life of 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo — who lunged at one of the gunman as other students fled to safety — and injured eight others.
Nate Holley said this...
"It was incredibly scary during it, and at least half the kids in my class broke into tears when it started happening." 
That was not something I was expecting to hear...what is wrong with our country?

Republicans concerned about School Security? Perhaps only if the NRA backs and provides it.

I didn't know this:
Badger Herald: Lawmakers reintroduced a bill this month that would allow school districts to exceed revenue limits in order to afford additional security measures. A pair of bipartisan lawmakers passed a similar measure into law in the 2009 biennial budget, but Gov. Scott Walker repealed it in 2011.
Not only has the governor not addressed the question of sensible gun regulation in Wisconsin (and seems to have gotten away with it), but he’s been against additional steps to secure our schools, a now popular target of law abiding gun owners hell bent on killing large numbers of people. At which point they’re no longer law abiding gun owners.
Rep. Amy Sue Vruwink, D–Milladore, a co-sponsor of the bill, said the proposed legislation would allow schools to exceed revenue caps by $100 per student or a total of $40,000, whichever is greater. “A lot of parents and educators have asked for it. We’re not mandating this. We’re not saying you absolutely have to do this. We’re leaving it up to the local elected officials and the people in the school district to decide.”
How serious are our sociopathic (lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience) conservative lawmakers about school safety?
Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, is the only Republican of the 28 legislators currently endorsing the proposed legislation.
This isn't about their convoluted interpretation of the Second Amendment, this is about school security and safety.

And they really don’t care.
