Sandy Hook 3rd Anniversary

On Sandy Hook anniversary, U.S. activists call for gun restrictions

Commemorating a carnage and of course, nothing has changed except sky rocketing gun sales in the US. More speeches, vigils and in the end utter frustration.


This Year’s Gun Sales Could Set Record for U.S.
Quote:
On Black Friday, the FBI said it processed 185,345 gun background checks, the most recorded in a single day. In November, the FBI conducted 2,243,030 checks, one of the highest months on record, and for the year has processed 19,827,376. And that was all before the shootings in San Bernardino last week, which killed 14 and injured 21. Reports from several states show increased gun sales since then, and if the last few months are any indication, the FBI will likely process more gun background checks this year than any since it began conducting them almost two decades ago.
Insanity continues. I wonder if a gun is required for personal protection, it is tax deductible?

Well at least they are keeping in practice. Pretty much an exercise in futility, especially with a GOP congress.

This youtube helped me identify the most nauseating excuse for a human being in the entire US Senate.

The despicable Kelly Atotte.

I thought you'd find his xenophobic bile appealing.

I don't think Ted Cruz has ever come anywhere close to the despicable way Ayotte treated Erica Lafferty, daughter of the murdered Sandy Hook principal, that day.

Perhaps not, but my stomach doesn't turn near as much when I see or hear her. Cruz makes my skin crawl.

What was despicable about Ayotte's treatment of her? Please be specific.
