Jason Johnson: Republicans Are ‘More in Love with Their Guns than ... Children’

‘Unfortunately, it’s bad enough that the Republicans only seem to care if the shooter is black or brown or something else like that’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “The idea that we’re basically sending our children into places that they can consider to be combat zones every day are a problem. Look, unfortunately, it’s bad enough that the Republicans only seem to care if the shooter is black or brown or something else like that. But I recognize that the Republican Party as a whole, and unfortunately some conservative Democrats, didn’t even care about the colors of the victims. If white children in Sandy Hook could be murdered en masse and yet members of Congress throw up their hands, then they clearly do not care about anything in this country. They are more in love with their guns than they are in different kinds of children in this country regardless of what color they are. That’s the most disappointing and disgusting thing about the epidemic of violence we’ve seen in the inner city, the country, the suburbs, and everywhere else in this country in the last 20 years.”
