We had a chance to get real gun legislation, but "the racket" couldn't wait to change the subject to "Drones" to get the gun debate out of the headlines. Out of sight, out of mind until the next tragedy, and the left will be all over the POTUS because he didn't talk enough about it. And if anyone thinks it's an accident, please think again. This paid "trolling racket" can divert attention from issues that the left claimed to be passionate about, but having the attention span of a fruit fly, they swarm from shit pile to shit pile, creating diversions as they go.
Now the subject has changed to CPI, which doesn't have a gnat's chance in hell of passing, because Boehner can't accept any deal from this president, and the president knows it, but it's great for diversion from issues like gun control, immigration, etc. If I were the Koch Bros., I'd certainly invest in a couple of the leftwing "rackets", that way, all the bases are covered.
