I know it totally hurts the NRAs feelings to talk about the easy access that maniacs in this country have to guns and ammo. I know the NRA’s flunkies in congress might tear up if someone suggests that allowing maniacs to buy 20 guns a month and thousands of rounds of ammo online isn’t such a good idea. We have to some compassion for the poor victims of gun control talk. I know all of that. It is just so mean and thoughtless to make anyone think about our absurd gun politics.
That’s why I’m worried that this legislation might be a little lacking in empathy for the NRA.
Democrats introduce bill to limit ammo sales on the internet, ban large-capacity gun magazines
Sen. Frank Lautenberg calls for a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines and for a dialogue on measures to prevent gun violence at a July 24 press conference. In the wake of the killing of 12 and wounding of 58 in Aurora, Colorado, a handful of elected Democrats have spoken in favor of new gun-control legislation. Or rather renewing old gun-control legislation. There seems to be zero chance any such legislation will pass in 2012. Even the majority of Democrats who would normally vote in favor of stricter gun laws haven’t rushed forward to introduce or support any.
