We are still uncertain whether he used a bump stock. Our hearts go out to the four victims, their families, and the school children who must endure this nonsense. The school year just started and, undoubtedly, we will hear of other school shootings. Last year, Georgia repealed the law requiring firearms registration. Do they believe that was a good idea? What is this sickness about guns?
