Why is the gun lobby so powerful. No one needs an assault rifle or a gun modified to fire many rounds automatically.

But, folks, Kevin McCarthy will risk the wrath of idiots like Lauren Boebert if he does anything to enact realistic gun laws. Now, we can't have that- or can we?

When is it going to get to the point that a mass shooting will have to have 20+ victims before the news will cover it. It's becoming sickening that the people who claim they love America won't protect them with realistic gun laws.

Just one more thing-the Republicans in Congress have absolutely no idea how to govern nor do they care.

The gun lobby is powerful because the corrupt GOP allows it to be so. Just look at the antics of MTG in the House. She wants to spend our tax dollars to investigate a mythical drag queen story hour. This leaves the field wide open for the NRA and any other powerful lobbyists to fool around with our rights any time they want. Meanwhile, we have citizens being killed by those who are supposed to protect them. seniors like me living in near poverty, homeless folks all over the place in bitter cold, people who are hungry and desperate. There are so many places in this country suffering in drought conditions with their economies going down the tubes. Still, we have the likes of Matt Gaetz and MTG playing at being congressmen all the while ignoring doing their jobs.

This is a very serious topic. Most people immediately believe that more laws are needed. A solution to a problem must satisfy both sides: the Gun Lobby and the Gun Control Lobby. A solution is offered in a new motion picture called, "Lee'd The Way," a solution that has nothing to do with the passage of laws.
