Will gun control return to the national agenda?

[Willie Pep]

In the wake of the 2016 election I recall a number of Democrats saying that gun control was a dead issue and a political loser. Do you think today's tragedies, not just the shooting at the Republican baseball practice field but also the shooting at the UPS center in San Francisco, put gun control back on the agenda?

1. No

Of the death of 26 babies and teachers didn't do it, nothing will.

2. Would be nice, but I doubt it

The repukes love their guns

3. Heck, NRA is sending out checks right now, as are non-member gun nuts.

4. Repugs don't have empathy until they're directly affected by something

Scalise might call for gun control, and maybe one or two others who were there during the shooting. But the rest won't. Keep in mind, they did NOTHING when 26+ five and six year olds were gunned down at school.

5. No. If nothing happened after those 9 and 10 year olds were gunned down, nothing will happen now.

6. No

7. No. If nothing happened after Sandy Hook, nothing will ever happen.

8. if they didn't do it after Sandy Hook

it will never happen, what could be worse than slaughtering 20 children???
