Another senseless school shooting! There have been 74 school shootings in America since Sandy Hook on December 14, 2012. SEVENTY-FOUR! Human beings are not born violent; it is a learned behavior.

In 2008 Barrak Obama was elected President of the United States by the largest majority in history. His campaign slogan, “Change You Can Believe In,” was embraced by the American people.
