“How are our children still dying and why are we failing them?” exclaimed a survivor of a past mass shooting today live during Fox News’ coverage of the slaughter at a Nashville school today. “Gun violence is the number one killer of children and teens, it has overtaken cars,” she added.
A sentiment echoed and furthered by Fnc’s John Roberts on-air also Monday in some very strident words of his own.
