The assault gun ban should have been immediate & automatic. Yet everyone stood by while the parents of the children were threatened. The perpetrators who threatened them should have been found and whipped silly. Sorry to be so brutal. But what monster would harass and threaten and silence the parents of those children?

In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate, Dan Hodges, a British journalist, wrote in a post on Twitter two years ago, referring to the 2012 attack that killed 20 young students at an elementary school in Connecticut. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.

The anger feels more palpable than ever. The big mass shootings (+10 victims) seem to happening with more frequency, and the GOP's standard "thoughts and prayers" mantra isn't cutting it anymore.

The NRA supported this.
Gun nuts supported this.
We should be angry.
