It is disgraceful in a nation where over 90% of Americans wanted some serious gun control measures after the tragedy that was Sandy Hook, and our representatives didn't deliver. There is something seriously wrong with that.

(68,644 posts)Were I in office, I'd not support knee-jerk hasty legislation if it didn't address underlying problems.
And if I fought a piece of gun control legislation, I wouldn't expect any favors from the NRA.

BTW, I doubt these guys voted the way they did to court the NRA. Neither Alaska nor Arkansas are gun control states and had they voted otherwise, they could have kissed their seats goodbye, the NRA notwithstanding.
