HOUSTON CHRONICAL: 'This Is The Fault Of THOSE In Public Office Bowing Before The NRA'

after a week of searching I think I found the answer* to what to do:


Congress didn't act after schoolchildren were slaughtered in Newtown. It didn't act after one of their own, Gabby Giffords, was shot in the head in 2011. And our elected officials don't seem likely to do anything different after the LGBT community was made a target of murderous hate in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

This isn't the fault of the Second Amendment. This is the fault of those in public office who worry more about bowing before the NRA than lowering their heads in mourning. *Things won't change until someone else comes and takes their seats.

It is their money and Lobbies t's along with what they fund for the NRA. The NRA is merely their front organization who supposedly represents the hunters etc.

The whole thing is really sick!
