re: #525 Political Atheist
The work needed to start then.
What part of “The NRA would have blocked all those efforts too” is hard to understand?
Doesn’t matter where it would have started. As soon as any noise about gun control starts, the gun lobby immediately starts with THEY’RE TAKIN’ YER GUNZ and the idiots and rubes fall in line. Things go nowhere, fast. Laws and regs, no matter how reasonable, get neutered before they’re even passed.
Doesn’t matter where or when it would have started. Obama would have gotten the brunt of it and the same shit that’s being said now would have been said then. Even Sandy Hook couldn’t stop the NRA from their usual tactics.
