We should send letters to congress DEMANDING that they approve background checks

Not doing so is disgusting. I hate Congress right now. The NRA cares more about killing machines than human lives. I am PISSED OFF TO FUCKING HELL RIGHT NOW! I never thought Congress would be so insensitive. Obama should have signed an executive order ordering background checks, and banning large-round magazines. All I can say is: FUCK YOU CONGRESS!

That would be creating laws and only the legislative branch can do that, also, EO's only apply to branches of the fed. govt, not state and local govt.

We should deluge those NRA Senators with postcards saying we will remember this vote come election day in 2014.
