I think, when it is all over, the Congres will give us, and the president will sign . . . . . .

. . . . . . The Milquetoast Gun Bill that will include word salad but no actual change, with assault rifles still freely available and more easily obtained than Sudafed. Background checks will also be watered down to a required affidavit from a buddy who says the prospective gun buyer is capable of lifting the gun and loading it.

The left will say how they passed the best bill they could. The right will say they saved the rights of gun lovers.

The NRA gets wood. Again.

Gun manufacturers and magazine makers have a We Got What We Paid For party, with wild, celebratory firing of live rounds into the night sky above Newtown, CT.

1. What isn't Milquetoast any more? Seems like everything they pass is

milquetoast and watered down so as to be worthless. And then trumpeted as a great victory.

2. Let's give up right now and avoid the rush. nt

3. There is an alternate view, you know. Maybe you'll consider it instead of the snark.

Get pissed off, get involved, get moving.

4. We did that already. Do you have any other suggestions because we are being

told that our Reps are powerless, they can't stop Corporations from winning because it would be a 'waste of everyone's time' to try, or they would 'shut down the government' etc etc.

Seems even when we win we lose. So what other suggestions do you have so that we can experience what it feels like to win on the issues once in a while?

7. Vote for the people you want, not those they tell you you want?

Was my OP wrong, by the way?

8. No, I think your OP was absolutely correct. That is most likely what will

happen and we will be told again the fighting Republicans is not possible, we have to compromise, so what if people die, it's pragmatic, no one wants to lose their political career over something like this etc etc

What I want are politicians who are willing to serve only term with no Corporate rewards when they leave office. Iow, to be willing to go there, do their job, and go home and back to whatever it was they were doing before.

I do not want people in office who are more interested in making it a career than in risking actually working for the people.

And I have a feeling that if we had more of that attitude in Congress, we would be pleasantly surprised because Big Money could not buy them. And I also think they WOULD be reelected. I'm not sure they should stay for too long, DC seems to be a very corrupting environment. But I prefer to elect someone who goes there willing to risk not being reelected in order to do what is right.

5. I have considered your alternate view

I think I summarized it succinctly.

6. As only you seem able. Buh bye.

Your post is pointless.
