Resistance
The latest mass killing which saw rise to fresh cries for more gun control was also used by the NRA. It is reported that they have the person who killed the shooter on their website.
It also has a slogan to support its claim for guns. The slogan read “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.”
An estimate of over 300 million guns could be found in the US. Millions from that number could be semiautomatic.
With Trump reportedly in support of the NRA, the situation could be hopeless. He is the one who needs to see the need for gun reform.
Democrats hope that Trump would recognize this. It doesn’t seem likely as the latest response from him showed in favor of present laws.
Feinstein and Democrats still push on nevertheless. They have given their reason for such legislation.
Feinstein said “for one reason: so that after every mass shooting with a military-style assault weapon, the American people will know that a tool to reduce these massacres is sitting in the Senate, ready for debate and a vote.”
Hopefully changes in law and stricter vetting of persons are enough.
