This is not draining the swamp, this is being a puppet on a string for the lobbyists who are the puppetmaster. I am deeply concerned.

Agreed. As I said in a previous post, the swamp hasn’t been drained; it’s overflowing.

Thanks for this post. I’m totally in agreement with you! I’m an American and I never understood this obsession with guns. I, too, thought after Sandy Hook something would be done. I remember seeing Pres. Obama wiping a tear from his eye. The gun laws were not always this extreme, and in fact, the history of the 2nd Amendment has to do with slavery. It’s obsolete. But then our so-called leaders are getting more extreme every day. It doesn’t surprise me that Wayne LaPierre is sitting next to our Tangerine Tyrant in a very chummy way. When you really think about it, it’s all about money. The more people who buy guns (or the same people buy more guns) puts more money in the NRA’s pockets. This is a big issue for me and the way things are going makes me sick. Anyone concerned with this issue, check out the book The Second Amendment: A Biography by Michael Waldman, which illustrates how the amendment got started and how its interpretation has changed over time.
Also, thanks for the link!

I am a first generation immigrant. I come from Europe (Italy/Austria) both countries where either the law enforcement or the criminals have the guns. It has always puzzled me and I will never be able to understand.
More guns, means more violence. It’s really not that complicated. I wrote down the book and will read it. Thank you.

I gave up. I never understood and never will. It just doesn’t make any sense. I really believed this nation would come to it’s senses after the Sandy Hook shooting. Nothing happened!

I thought it was a tipping point too. Sadly … not.

Horrible. This makes me so mad! Approximately 3,000 people die every month in the US from guns. My brother was one of them. That’s a 9/11 every month. They don’t care. I can rant about this for hours.
