The Pro Gun Lobby is Quiet, It is not dead..

It rests after an event. Like the Las Vegas shooting, or Sandy Hook. This is such an event. Those in congress who protect the gun lobby are resting. It may be a week to ten days. But they will do everything possible to stop new national laws or state laws. Or limit new laws in ways that make them much less effective. This fight has just begun.

They have been insulting the hell out of these kids that organized the protest marches.

Congress is away on 2 weeks "spring" vacation and I expect a bunch of them are not going back to their districts either. They'll probably go on some junket somewhere and then come back refreshed with the latest talking points.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
