the NRA is a criminal organization.
I guess right wingers are just too stupid to realize that the NRA only serves the will of gun manufacturers.

The fix was in from the start.

Harry Reid's refusal to reform the filibuster made the loss a forgone conclusion.

And the political fall out from this will be ZERO. In several weeks the nation will again forget this ever happened, until the next slaughter.

Rinse and repeat

They would rather have the blood of innocents on their heads and NRA money in their pockets than do the right thing. What a sad, sad day for America. What has become of us?

They're either cowards or greedy pigs, neither of which qualifies as a good person.

... gave a rousing speech, one of his best. He called out the morons and he did it right.

I agree with him, this is not over.
