[Vision2020] Close to 27 Dead

[Scott Dredge]

Won't make a difference.  Republicans / NRA aren't the problem.  The challenge is to figure out how to enact effective laws that don't violate constitutional rights lest they be struck down.  Good luck on that front.

This is a horrible tragedy.  For some perspective including other recent mass U.S. shootings  see:

When AIDS first came en masse to America the Reagan administration did little since they perceived (and many still do) the early victims, mostly white homosexual men, as throwaways.  However, when white Republican men, allegedly heterosexual, started dying, then much more action was taken.


Will it be the same for sensible gun control?  Will we have to wait for few mass shootings where numbers of white Republican men who are NRA members are offed?
