Sandy Hook mom goes off: 'We value guns, flags & fake acts of patriotism over people, pain'

After the tragic mass shooting in Las Vegas, which has already claimed the lives of 50 people and injured more than 400 more, Nelba Márquez-Greene, mother of Ana Márquez-Greene, a 6-year-old girl who was gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary school in 2012, is sounding off on Twitter in a series of remarkable and heartbreaking comments that puts the blame for yet another mass shooting directly on the shoulders of Congress.

I don’t know what to say besides this is on every congressperson who said in ‘13: There is simply nothing we could do.  #LasVegas #Newtown

She also wants to know why we don’t confront the true reality that the majority of mass shootings are committed by angry, white men.

As a mom who had to bury a child- I could care less about perp color. But how come we never talk about angry White men w/guns? #Newtown

Marquez-Greene noted roughly 91 people per day from from guns in the United States and we do nothing.

In America we value guns, flags & fake acts of patriotism over people, pain & real acts of courage. #LasVegas #TakeAKnee #EndGunViolence
