Ashley Moody, the NRA's attorney general

It was just another day in the United States of America. Another mass shooting. Another politician taking up for the gun lobby.

Monday brought news of yet another mass shooting committed with an assault weapon. This time three people died, two of them children. Twelve others were injured, including the mother and grandmother of the slain six-year-old boy.

A few hours later, Florida learned that its new attorney general, Ashley Moody, is shilling for the people who make and purchase such weapons of mass destruction.

Moody opposes a petition initiative to ban new assault weapons in Florida. Late Friday, she referred the issue to the Florida Supreme Court and requested that it bar the proposal from the 2020 ballot.
