Weird way to phrase “school shootings” but that’s one way to tackle the gun problem. Reframe it

Trump and many other Republicans also say this ridiculous statement.
- lol this is something my mom used to say when I was a teen: "I wonder of its too late for an abortion?"
  Ma is a real card...

@Col3814444
Isn't that just called murder? I'm pretty sure that's something he should know already...
- Some places have a separate crime of infanticide. I know the UK also has a crime of Causing or Allowing the death of a child.

Maybe he can be the first to experience it then.

And, I really doubt that any states ever have allowed that.

Can we make a new rule, such that if a GOPer says it, we assume it is false unless and until they provide a significant level of proof to go along with their statement. Then if that proof can be verified, we assume that they stole the information from someone else. Those in favor?
