Fearing NRA's power to block change

February 22, 2018 11:00 pm • Last Updated: February 23, 2018 5:09 pm

The latest massacre at one of our schools will produce a lot of political blather: talk about mental health, bump stocks, AR-15s, etc.; but absolutely nothing of regulatory substance will be done by Washington.

No one is asking the basic question that should be posed to the parents of our children. "Which of the following groups' policies are the greatest danger to the safety of your children, ISIS or the NRA?" If you choose the latter, what are you going to do about it?
