this is one issue that should be on this very board, 100% agreed.

Yet the NRA people are here doing the NRA work here and it isn't.

It is time to start really considering the the NRA and its fans are making a coup'd'etat on America, and treating it as such with zero tolerance.
And those that hinder, in congress, by doing nothing, are alligning themselves with the NRA and its attempted coup'd'etat.

The shame thing is, Conn. won't be the last. Just the first of many til this whole gun culture stops completely.

(BTW,what amazes me is that some of those that speak the loudest about a couple of innocents dying from drones in the middle of a war, remain absolutely mute on the issue of guns by private citizens in America. I find that odd.)
Wouldn't one think they would be the biggest supporters of a gun by private citizen free streets out there?
What is one suppose to think about that? I am totally confused.(when in fact drones are saving the lives of many people from international terrorism.

Why is it we can try to stop international terrorism,and get it cut way down, but yet not terrorism on a daily basis in the form of a simple gun and a couple boxes of bullets?

Or is it that those that want to stop drones and don't want to stop guns, in effect are actively promoting the bad guys to just wantonly kill and be Zimmerman's all over the world?

I just don't know or understand.
