THE IDEA OF DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING  WASHINGTON—In the wake of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that left 17 dead and 14 injured, sources confirmed Wednesday that the idea of doing absolutely nothing until the next mass shooting is gaining considerable traction in Congress. “After the recent tragedies, lawmakers have shown a great deal of interest in a proposal that’s been circulating to sit back and do jack shit until the next entirely preventable massacre goes down on U.S. soil,” sources said of the legislators’ plan to twiddle their thumbs while the next unhinged lunatic effortlessly purchases an AR-15 before firing it indiscriminately in what could be either a crowded mall, a movie theater, an airport, or even another school. “As soon as the Parkland shooting happened, party leaders banded together, declared ‘Enough is enough,’ and immediately began formulating a way to talk out of their asses via their social media accounts while doing nothing to create, strengthen, or better enforce basic gun laws. This measure to squander their unique opportunity to pass legislation that puts an end to the maddening cycle of gun violence is very popular right now, and will likely continue to be championed until the next group of innocent men, women, and are brutally slaughtered.” Sources added that the plan has a high chance of surviving, as it has the full support of the NRA. from The Onion |

I often wonder if legislators really give a damn about killings. As long as it isn't them or their loved ones, they probably won't budge.

We are changing.. and the time of doing nothing so you don't get in trouble.. is getting you in trouble.. The time of Obama doing something and just getting in trouble for for it.. Is over.. No matter which side you're on.. you can't just occupy a chair anymore Politicians are just going to have to accept that doing something is going to be wrong half the time, and for the half the people.... and accept the the fact that half the time you'll be right and have the support of half the people.. Let it all come out in the wash... about whether what you did was good or bad.

While serving in the House of Representatives, Schumer, along with California senator Dianne Feinstein, authored the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban which expired in 2004. Supporters of gun control legislation, give him much of the credit for passage of both the Assault Weapons Ban and the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act.The Assault Weapons Ban, which banned semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and handguns with certain features, expired in September 2004 despite attempts by Schumer to extend it. He was one of 16 senators to vote against the Vitter Amendment, which prohibited the confiscation of legally owned firearms during a disaster. Schumer has supported hunters, sponsoring legislation to provide millions in outdoor recreation grants to landowners who allow hunting and fishing on their private property. For these efforts, Field and Stream magazine honored Schumer in their "Hero Awards" in 2008. Schumer is also a supporter of providing hunters with tax deductions for donating venison and other game to feeding programs....... Doesn't look like nothing to me......
