    Just heard that Trump received $30,000,000
    from the NRA...if everyone receives $ from the NRA...nothing will ever happen.
         At the moment it is put blame on mental capacity as we know...

    I believe our esteemed Speaker of the House explained, “it’s not time for that discussion”. 
    As if our social discourse is reliant on his timeline...

    The fat checks from the NRA lobby still clear

    Why can’t a budget get passed? Why hasn’t immigration been settled? Why can’t judgeships get filled? Legislative inertia on guns is in the gridlock behind these intractable failures.  This post was edited by Don Barzini at February 19, 2018 7:25 AM MST

  • Unfortunately, many will see the massacres as proof that more people need guns for self-defense, and that the 2nd amendment right to bear arms should never be watered down.
    So far, every time there has been a massacre in the USA, it has led to several states relaxing the regulations for arms ownership, and a dramatic increase in sales.
