Sorry to say this, but if Sandy Hook didn't move Congress, this isn't going to either

1. We need to "move" Congress this November...

13. +1,000,000,000,000

2. Agree 100%!!!

The gun lobby is way too strong in the USA. No amount of carnage will ever be enough to make any changes.

3. I cant take credit for writing this, but it bears repeating;

The gun control debate was over when a guy walked into an elementary school and shot five year olds in the face and congress did nothing

4. Im sad to say I agree. We must remove those who condone the slaughter of children from gov.

5. +1

17. so true

[NightWatcher]

6. Except now there are tweets and videos from the kids ducking and covering.

We are also standing up like never before. The Me Too movement has empowered people to speak up. This won't solve anything but people are getting vocal and that's a start.

8. And?

You could show them a video of their own children, and it wouldn't move them!!! Their love of money, power and control, is all that matters to them...as sad as that is!!

7. Aint going to happen until a current politicians kid is killed

If say the Speaker of the House child gets shot dead in one of these massacres, then we will see some movement on gun control. Until then, all we’ll get are phony prayers to imaginary sky people.

10. Won't matter

Ryan will gladly sacrifice his own children...as long as he keeps getting money and has power to control peoples lives!!!

9. Congress can only be moved through the electoral process on many issues. Nt

[atreides1]

12. Exactly

The only way to move Congress on this issue is to remove those who are blocking the process!!!

11. We don't know the effect of accumulation of these types of tragedies.

But, after Sandy Hook, it's hard to believe anything could ever move them?

14. The home of the brave?

Right

15. There needs to be a constant pressure on them to act on this issue.

We need to press them consistently and hard and ignore the naysayers that claim it's a loser. The only way to effect change is to press hard and keep the pressure on. It's easy to get frustrated because our system is set up to make it hard to effect quick and easy change with its deadlock. It can take years of built-up pressure before the cork finally pops and anything gets done. The ACA is a perfect example of this.

16. I agree. It's a familiar story by now. There will be candlelight vigils, tears will be shed, the

media will find plenty of human interest stories to play off of people's grief, politicians will express "thoughts and prayers", the victims will be buried and then we wait for the next massacre and start the cycle all over again.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

18. Just put it on the shelf next to Vegas and Texas church.
