Why nothing happens on gun control

Obama said the gun manufacturers would "make out like bandits, partly because of this fear that's churned up that the federal government and the black helicopters are all coming to get your guns." The President argued the absence of common-sense gun safety laws was "unique" to this country. He said: "The grip of the NRA on Congress is extremely strong. I don't foresee any legislative action being taken in this Congress."

What a surprise. Money talks and bullshit walks.

However, we on the side of humanity are beginning to offset the huge advantage that the gun lobby has on legislatures. Everytown has begun funding efforts to pass legislation and political campaigns and winning. We're still at a disadvantage with 45 years of NRA talking points and congressional purchases but we're making progress.

Support a gun control group of your choice any way you can.
