Forget the photo-ops & speeches-NOTHING-will happen & HERE'S WHY

Q: Don't both parties take blame in the inability to find a solution to these mass shootings?

Sen. Sherrod Brown: "No. No. No ... We can't get anything done in the Senate because Mitch McConnell and the president of the United States are in bed with the gun lobby."

I think I need to watch a silly movie and calm down for a little while. I can't take much more of this today.

I wonder why the President and the Senate Majority Leader aren't asked about their ideas for solutions, and what they're doing to work with Democrats to find a solution? It's only elected Democrats who have to answer for the Senate's inactivity, and the President's nonsense.
