Michelle & I are praying for the victims in Las Vegas. Our thoughts are with their families & everyone enduring another senseless tragedy.

(45,530 posts)background checks, mental health screenings, even collecting data to measure the problem or assist law enforcement in tracing guns back to their origins.
Normally, I'm against "thoughts and prayers" from politicians, but in this case he has good thoughts and actually tried many times to change things for the better. I bet it must be frustrating to be blocked each time and then see another mass shooting.

(129,482 posts)When innocent children and teachers were gunned down and the survivors (including other children and their family members and school staff) traveled to D.C. to try their hardest to lobby for some sensible gun control... they were ignored, and summarily dismissed.
Just this past Friday, when Congressman and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise made a triumphant return to the chamber after a mass shooting where his internal organs and bones were ripped apart, and after literally being on his death bed just a few months before, did the GOP consider hearings on what might help to avoid something like that in the future? Of course not.
And after each of these instances, "we" (editorial) keep asking - "When is enough, enough?". Apparently it hasn't been "enough" yet.

(63,922 posts)open arms did the same with Gabby Giffords too, but did anything come out of that. Fuck the NRA and the GOP they are in bed together. When you lay with fleas you get them.

(1,907 posts)I don't tweet, don't know how to and don't care to but I hope this tweet somehow gets on Trump's twitter feed. Especially the part "from the last LEGITIMATE president".

BTW, welcome to DU!
