So glad to see the democrats finally take some aggressive action in the Senate with their filibuster of the GOP business as usual. Forcing them to take an action that can only result in making them look bad in the eyes of down ballot voters. They caved and took the bait like a catfish on a trotline.
The American public is fed up with seeing groups of people killed almost every week and nothing being done about it. More and more people are identifying with the sheer volume of the victims and finally realizing the next targets could very well be themselves. Large groups die in aircraft crashes but these are usually accidents and only seldom caused by terrorist organizations. And never killed one at a time by a madman.
More and more people are seeing their friends, or their family or even simply just people they know dying at the hands of a crazy person. More and more are asking why can't Congress do something about it; the answer is they can; they just don't want to do it. I keep thinking of the quote by Woodward and Bernstein " follow the money." Who gets money for maintaining the status quo? Why wonder of wonders, it's Republicans. Who keeps voting for guns and against sanity Again the answer is Republicans.
Next Monday, senators will vote on some initial solutions. We will see from the roll call vote who is for what. We hope America pays attention and then takes action at the ballot box.
