Just one day before the shooting in Florida, State House GOP candidate Tyler Tannahill announced this giveaway. It is still ongoing.
GROSS: Kansas GOP Candidate Holds AR-15 Giveaway
February 16, 2018

Not much shocks me these days. I guess living under the Trump regime has toughened me up to a lot of the despicable things the Republican party does. For example, supporting Nazis, child molesters and wife beaters, to name a few. Let's also not forget paying porn stars to stay quiet about affairs and all that pussy grabbing.

But the headline I read today actually made me rage. A Kansas Republican candidate for Congress, Tyler Tannahill, is giving away an AR-15. The killing machine that is responsible for the majority of the mass shootings in recent history, including the Valentine's Day massacre in Parkland, Florida, that killed over a dozen students and 2 teachers.

His "giveaway" was set up just the day before the shooting, on February 13th. Now, a normal person with a conscience and morals would see the headlines and take the contest down, because that is the humane thing to do, right?
