The statement "thoughts and prayers" has become nothing but a shitty excuse to do nothing.
To these NRA-embracing cowards I would say: I don't want your "thoughts and prayers". I want you to DO SOMETHING about this, DAMMIT! They're nothing but wholly-owned subsidiaries. REAL guts is telling the NRA you can't be bought with their blood money.

This is nothing but blood money on their part. Both of them have given or tried to give the NRA everything it wants.

(3,411 posts)Someone on DU posted a list of every piece of gun legislation proposed by the NRA that his administration supported. Most have become law. Certainly one of the most infamous was the law passed to keep Pediatricians from discussing the danger of guns in homes with children. Fortunately that was declared unconstitutional.
