I wish the US was like New Zealand. They have one big mass shooting and they do something. We have many mass shootings and do nothing at the federal level except ban bump stocks. I guess New Zealand doesn’t have the equivalent of the NRA here which spends millions on Republicans to prevent gun safety laws. There is public support but Republicans listen to their donors instead of voters. Republican lawmakers prefer thoughts and prayers to action.

The House passes guns background check bill
A poll from January shows that 92% of the country favors requiring background checks for all guns purchases. In spite of this, the Republican-controlled Senate probably won’t even take up the legislation. They have received too much money from the NRA to turn on them.
It is so frustrating to see Republicans clearly go against the will of the people. More mass shootings won’t change their opinion either if the ones from the last few years haven’t done it. Sad!
The NRA-Russia connection
The Supreme Court will hear a guns case
Republicans in Congress and the NRA
We have to get to the bottom of the connections between the NRA, Russia, and Republican campaigns including Trump’s in 2016.
Mueller is investigating Trump campaign ties to the NRA
and there’s this:
Politifact lie of the year
Trump and the NRA used the same media consultant to coordinate 2016 ads
The NRA’s income dropped by almost $55 million in 2017
I guess they don’t need as much money since they got their stooge in the White House.
