NRA on yesterdays mass shooting: "No comment."

Note the AP fails to provide us with a single example of someone from the "gunz are teh awesome" side of the "debate" that "offered sympathy."

Shooting reignites US debate over gun control; 'When will enough be enough?'

WASHINGTON - A deadly shooting in the heart of Washington has reignited the national debate about gun control, but it's uncertain whether Monday's tragedy will revive action in Congress that failed against opposition from gun rights supporters.

Even after a national outcry when a gunman shot dead 20 young children and six adults in a Connecticut school in December, President Barack Obama was unable to find support from lawmakers for substantial changes.

Monday's shooting was at least the seventh mass shooting of Obama's presidency.

People on both sides of the debate offered sympathy for the victims on Monday's shooting, which killed 12 and left the gunman dead.

"When will enough be enough?" Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a leading advocate for tougher gun control in the Senate, said in a written statement. "Congress must stop shirking its responsibility and resume a thoughtful debate on gun violence in this country. We must do more to stop this endless loss of life."

The nation's top gun lobby, the National Rifle Association, declined to respond to requests for comment Monday. The group successfully fought Obama's push for stricter firearms laws.

Until then, we can expect more of the last set of phony ass quotes, sprinkled with freedom (burp) quotes. More second amendment rights being mis-used by mindless fascists.

Feinstein's husband is part of the MIC... so, while she's sucking off the public tit, my response to her "When will enough be enough?" is, "When we get rid of fascist whores licking the boots of the military industrialists, you twit!"
