Chris Hayes compiled all the times that Paul Ryan has said we shouldn’t make knee jerk decisions after tragedies.

Apparently the Speaker of the House permanently thinks all these requests for action are knee jerk.

Columbine was nineteen years ago.

The kids at Parkland and every other high school in the country have grown up with shooter drills and low grade ptsd.

I don’t know a single kid that doesn’t clock the exits in a room they enter. That’s the impact Columbine has had.

It isn’t a knee jerk reaction anymore.

It’s the long over due correction of a national mistake.

Wait…do people who grew up before Columbine not do this…?
