Senator Kamala Harris, the Democrat from California responded to Wednesday’s mass shooting at a Parkdale, Florida high school by urging non-partisan action. In an exchange with reporters on Capitol Hill this morning, she said “This cannot be a political issue. We have to be practical. I support the Second Amendment. But we have to have smart gun-safety laws. And we cannot tolerate a society and live in a country with any level of pride when our babies are being slaughtered.”
