the NRA slips back into it's hidey hole while congress goes about doing their bidding..

which is to do nothing.

no talk of bump stocks.

no talk of increasing the age limit.

no talk of stronger background checks.

no talk of weapons ban.

nothing....and then there will be another mass killing and we will repeat this same scenario.

Somebody finally told them that attacking live children who just got shot at wasn't going to work.

The kids they usually attack after a mass shooting don't talk back. Because they're usually dead.

who doesn't speak for the vast majority of this country. This is what the gun lobby does, in effect, bribing our legislators, w/ payouts or campaign donations.

However, they (NRA) will be placed on notice every time a gun is used in a mass shooting (or a AR15 and the likes) and the American people are catching on to their scam, plain and simple. They will NOT be able to escape or run to their cubby hole any longer.

Enough!

gov Inslee just signed a bill banning bump stocks here is Washington yesterday. Our state legislature didn’t go nearly far enough but it’s actually progress and not that “feel good” nonsense of changing the age from 18 to 21.
