WASHINGTON --
Talks to revive gun control legislation are
quietly underway on Capitol Hill as a bipartisan group of senators seeks
a way to bridge the differences that led to last week's collapse of the
most serious effort to overhaul the country's gun laws in 20 years.
Drawing

which failed in Congress several times before ultimately passing, gun

change their votes and support a background check system with fewer

Did you see this? !

WSF, firearms are part of our culture, so the NYT article matters. Some other topic? Maybe not so much.
Cathy, I saw, but wonder how much support it will get in the Senate.
They won't give up till they have completely taken away all our rights.
Concur, Duke.
As I've said so often, they will succeed. Sooner or later. After all, they're the aristocracy and we but peasants and they know what's good for us.
Stephen, agreed. It's quite clear they feel entitled & protected by position.
This one is a stealth action...
You're right, NFO ... or, at least it was a stealth action.
Two things come to mind upon seeing this:
1) "Fool me once, shame on me...." You know the rest. May we never be fooled again.
2) What's that definition of insanity again? Something about "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" wasn't it?
